Answer :
During the Arms Race, ballistic missiles known as intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) had ranges much greater than 4000 miles, which exceeds all listed options in the question. This makes all the provided choices incorrect in relation to the historical capabilities of ICBMs during the Cold War era.Therefore, the correct option is B.
During the Arms Race, the maximum distance from which ballistic missiles could be fired was substantially more than the options provided in the question. Specifically, the Soviet Union built intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) capable of delivering nuclear warheads to distant countries. The term intercontinental suggests a range that is well beyond the highest option listed in the multiple choice answers, which is 4000 miles.
However, as history tells us, the fears associated with the concept of Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD) during the Cold War compelled both the United States and the Soviet Union to create warheads with ranges that could cover vast distances between continents, far exceeding even 4000 miles. Therefore, since none of the options accurately represent the historical capabilities of ICBMs, it suggests that there may be an issue with the question's options themselves.
