The correct answer is B) the explosion of a Soviet atomic weapon.

The development of the Hydrogen Bomb of 1954 was most likely a product of the explosion of a Soviet atomic weapon.

So the reaction of the United States government was that President Harry S. Truman ordered the development of a hydrogen bomb  On November 1, 1952, the United States Army detonated the first hydrogen bomb in the Marshall Islands in the North Pacific Ocean. That bomb destroyed the island of Elugelab.
