Solution

The correct option is C ideological
The Cold War was fought in a hidden manner. This means no actual war happened between the US and the USSR. They never acknowledged the conflict they had between them directly. Instead they pulled other countries into fighting their war. These wars are known as proxy wars. It was an ideological war fought between the USA and the USSR from 1945 till the disintegration of the USSR in 1991.
