d. the red army had sided with revolutionaries, and a new military and political system had to be established.

Explanation:

Lenin's communist - based economic solutions were a major factor in the Bolshevik establishment of the Soviet Union. Kerensky was not a White Army leader but a figure in the Provisional Government. Russia lost the Russo - Japanese War. The Red Army's siding with revolutionaries was a result of the revolutionary process rather than the main cause of the establishment of the Soviet Union.

Answer:

C. Revolutionary leader Vladimir Lenin promised to solve Russia's economic problems through communism.
