Answer:

B. A strong stance against communism

Step-by-step explanation:

One issue that made possible that Ronald Reagan won the presidential election in 1980 was the perception that Carter administration was not against Communism and Soviet Union with sufficient strength and even allowed the establishment of regimes that sympathized with the Soviet Union or Cuba. For instance, Nicaragua.
