It would be C......


Explanation:
The Soviets in 1948 blocked off railways and roads to west Berlin since the Soviets were mad everyone from the east was migrating to the west so they blocked it off... This ended up starting the cold war, after the Soviets blocked all passages to the west, people in west Berlin were running low on food and supplies so the United States airdropped supplies to the people in west Berlin.

the answer is C.In response to the Soviet blockade of land routes into West Berlin, the United States begins a massive airlift of food, water, and medicine to the citizens of the besieged city. For nearly a year, supplies from American planes sustained the over 2 million people in West Berlin.
