The best answer is B) The US had already put some in Turkey.

The deployment of ICBMs in Cuba was actually requested by Castro (leader of Communist Cuba) to deter another US-led invasion like the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, but Khrushchev saw it as an appropriate answer to the deployment of US ICBMS in Turkey.
