Solution

The correct option is C Because it wanted to support the communist country, Cuba.
There was a continuous demand of developing missiles between the superpowers during the cold war to fill the missile gap between them. It was also an ideological warfare where the US disliked Cuba for its communist governance which matches the ideology of the communist Russia. Thus, Russia joined Cuba to safeguard them from US oppression.
