Solution

The correct option is B Truman of USA
Britain withdrew its support to Turkey and Greece because of its own economic problems, which came as a result of World War II. Stalin was a communist leader himself, and Roosevelt had died in office a few years back. US President Harry Truman authorised support for the anti-communist forces in Turkey and Greece in 1947.
