Solution

The correct option is C To suppress the spread of communist ideas.
After the First World War, Russia began to focus on its own development and was recognised as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics or the USSR in 1922. Many British politicians feared that following the Russian Revolution, communism may spread across Europe. They believed that Nazi Germany could be a strong defence against a possible Soviet invasion, and thus followed a policy of appeasement with reference to Hitler.
