The correct answer is the following: option B. The Berlin blockade after World War II showed Europeans that the USSR was serious about expanding its area of control in Eastern Europe.

The Berlin Blockade was an attempt in 1948 by the Soviet Union to limit the ability of France, Great Britain and the United States to travel to their sectors of Berlin, which lay within Russian-occupied East Germany. Coming just three years after the end of World War II, the blockade was the first major clash of the Cold War.
