Explanation:

Question 7

The Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 was a CIA - backed operation with the goal of overthrowing Fidel Castro's communist government in Cuba. The first option is incorrect as the operation was not about pushing out capitalists. Assassinating Castro was not the main goal of the Bay of Pigs (it was about overthrowing the government), and the fourth option is incorrect as the operation was by the US, not about collecting intelligence on its own CIA.

The US containment policy during the Cold War was specifically aimed at containing the spread of Communism. Authoritarianism is a broader concept and not the target of containment. Capitalism was the economic system of the US and its allies, so they would not want to contain it. National Socialism (Nazism) was the target of WWII, not the Cold War containment policy.

Answer:

B. Overthrowing the communist government
