Answer:

The correct answer is that the United States organized an airlift with the purpose of sending supplies to West Berlin.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the years of 1948-1949, the Soviets were pushing to the people, who were in charge of the west, to give up the power they had Over Berlin and take away the Deutsche Mark as a currency. However, for westerns, that was not an option and they blocked the entrance into West Berlin. So, the US and the allies organized to send over 200,000 flights a year with thousands of tons of necessities being dropped down to the people who were needing those supplies in Berlin.
