Question

To what did the term mutually assured destruction refer during the Cold War? A. Global warming B. Economic collapse C. Conventional war D. Nuclear war

Answer 1

Definition: a U.S. doctrine of reciprocal deterrence resting on the U.S. and Soviet Union each being able to inflict unacceptable damage on the other in retaliation for a nuclear attack.

While usually I would go with the answer B. Economic Collapse, after reading the definition, my answer would be D. Nuclear War. 

I hope this helps! 

Answer 2

Nuclear war.

Don’t worry, I saw it on Doctor who.
