The Korean War happened 1950-1953.

The Cuban Missile Crisis happened after this, in 1962

The Greek Civil War happened before them; in 1946-1949

We can exclude option 1 now.

US envolvement in Vietnam lasted form 1959 to 1975

We can exclude option 4 now.

The U2 Incident happened in 1960: this information lets us exclude option 2)
and we are left with option 3): c. the Greek Civil War --> the Korean War --> U.S. involvement in Vietnam
