Answer:

The correct answer is B. In response to the Cuban Missile Crisis, President Kennedy approved a naval quarantine of Cuba.

Explanation:

The installation of the R-6 medium-range ballistic missile by Soviet military personnel in Cuba was discovered by the photographs of a special type of US spy plane, the U-2, flying over Cuba in mid-1962. CIA pointed out to President John F. Kennedy that the structures photographed in Cuba seemed to correspond to tactical missile installations, not yet operational but that would be in a short time, which meant for the US government a great concern because only 120 miles separated Florida from the Cuban coasts (distance considered to be easily surmountable by the Soviet missiles) and would leave the US defense unanswered.

On October 22, 1962, Kennedy addressed the American public with a 17-minute televised message. There, he spoke for the first time publicly about establishing a quarantine and a "naval siege" around the island of Cuba. In order to comply with this measure, American warships and aircraft were deployed in the Caribbean Sea on October 23, destined to carry out an authentic air-naval blockade.
