b. the united states invaded countries in central and eastern europe to maintain order.

c. the soviet union cracked down on independence movements and tightened control.

d. the united states increased its personnel at key military bases.

Explanation:

The Revolutions of 1989 led to the collapse of communist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe. The Soviet Union's satellite states (like Poland, Hungary, East Germany etc.) sought independence, and the Soviet Union could no longer maintain control over them. Option B is incorrect as the US did not invade these countries. Option C is wrong because the Soviet Union did not tighten control; instead, it lost control. Option D is not a result of the 1989 revolutions.

Answer:

A. The Soviet Union lost control of its satellite states in central and eastern Europe.
