Answer:

Option A and E follows.

Step-by-step explanation:

The British disliked the idea of Poland coming under communist control and the trade between Poland and Britain was being obstructed by the Soviets, are the right options.

The Soviet Union during the Second World War by following a secret pact known as the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact of 1939, began the annexation of some countries which were handed over by Nazi Germany. Such countries included Latvia, Estonia, eastern regions of Poland, eastern Romania and regions of eastern Finland. Though the Soviet Union tried to annex some other countries following the same pact, it only faced the British opposition regarding the occupation of Poland. The two main reasons for Britain's opposition to the occupation of Poland included Britain did not like the very idea of Poland coming under the communist authority and by occupying Poland, the Soviet Union was obstructing the trade of Britain with Poland.
