The answer is B.

Poorer countries are more at risk for communism because it is appealing. After WWII, many Eastern European countries were destroyed, both physically and economically. Because of both their proximity to the ISSR and their poverty, they were likely to join the Communist Bloc. The US wanted to stop this so they gave Mondry to these countries through he Marshall Plan to boost their economic situation.

Hope this helps!!
