Answer:

Option: D. Chile

Step-by-step explanation:

President Salvador Allende of Chile was overthrown by the military (General Augusto Pinochet) with the aid of the United States in 1973. Allende was a Marxist and became first to be selected to rule in a liberal democratic country. America did not want to see Chile became the second country like Cuba under Fidel Castro. After Allende became President, he began to nationalize U.S. based businesses and companies like Copper Mine and telephone company which angered President Nixon. Nixon began to support a military coup to remove Allende from power in Chile.
