□ mark for review (will be highlighted on the review page)

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The Soviet Union had massive casualties (military and civilian) during WWII, far more than the US.
• Option B: The Soviet Union was stable politically post - WWII (under Stalin's rule), while the US was also stable. So this is incorrect.
• Option C: The Soviet Union was attacked by Germany in 1941, and the US entered in 1941 after Pearl Harbor, so the Soviet Union did not enter later. Incorrect.
• Option D: The Soviet Union had a huge number of soldiers involved, more than the US in terms of the scale of ground forces on the Eastern Front. Incorrect.

Answer:

A. The Soviet Union suffered greater losses of life.
