Explanation:

The Cuban Missile Crisis (1962) was a major Cold War confrontation where the U.S. discovered Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba, leading to a tense standoff between the two superpowers. The U.S. did not occupy Cuba, Puerto Rico is unrelated to the crisis, and Cuba was aligned with the Soviet Union at the time, not democratic and opposed to them.

Answer:

a. standoff between the U.S. and the Soviet Union.
