Answer:

The correct answer is:

A. The CIA failed in its mission.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Bay of Pigs Invasion was a disaster of the CIA, and the Kennedy Administration.

The reason for this is that Kennedy did not provide enough air support for the paramilitary forces that landed on Cuba, and as a result, they were quickly overwhelmed by Castro's forces. Most of the Bay of Pigs invaders were interrogated and put in prison shortly after.
