His administration contains reforms like the tax cut, cut on non-military spending, elimination of federal regulations, etc. His policies were famous with the name Reganomics as he himself decide each policy and those policies are unique in their own ways. His foreign policy was totally anti-communist as his main aim was to stop the popularity and spreading of Communism in the world. Even he opted for certain policies to roll back the effects of communism in regions like Asia, Africa, etc. A) The correct answer is 3: The Reagan Doctrine characterized the Reagan administration policy of supporting anti-Communist insurgents wherever they might be. This doctrine was launched to limit the global influence of the Soviet Union. It was the United States' important foreign policy which was in effect from the early 1980s till the end of the Cold War in 1991. Under this doctrine, the United States finally supported the resistance movement and anti-communist guerrillas to stop the Soviet-backed pro-communist government in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Thus, the correct option is Reagan Doctrine. The rest all options are wrong: 1) Iran Contra Scandal occurred during the second term of the Reagan Administration. Arms were sold to the Khomeini government. The reason for the sale given by America was to free the American hostages being held in Lebanon by Hezbollah who had connections with Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. 2) Expensive is not the correct option as a correct option is the Reagan doctrine. 4) Strategic Defence Initiative was introduced by Reagan on national television in March 1983. It is a strategic defensive system against potential nuclear attacks. It is a defense project that would use ground and space-based systems to protect the United States from nuclear attacks.B) The correct answer is 1: Strategic Defence Initiative or Star Wars was introduced by Reagan on national television in March 1983. It is a strategic defensive system against potential nuclear attacks. It is a defence project that would use ground and space-based systems to protect the United States from nuclear attacks. The initiative not only put a defence system for anti-ballistic missiles but also pressurized the Soviet Union to fund their own anti-ballistic missile system, as the real motive was to weaken the economy of the Soviet Union. Thus the correct answer is Strategic Defence Initiative. The rest options are not correct: 2) M.A.D(Mutual Assured Destruction) is a military strategy or national security policy. The term was coined by Donald Brennan. It was a policy in which a full-scale use of nuclear weapons by two or more opposing sides would cause complete annihilation on both the attacker and the defender. 3) Project countdown: a global initiative to champion and accelerate solutions to the climate crisis and even implement the ideas to save the climate. 4) Helsinki Accords was an effort to reduce the tension between the Soviet Union and the Western Blocks by commonly accepting the status quo post World War II in Europe. Under this accord, 35 nations signed to respect human rights and fundamental freedoms and to cooperate in economic, scientific and on other grounds.
