The answer is B. Speak out on the dangers of Russian communism while preaching the virtues of democracy.

Context/details:

When President Ronald Reagan came into office in 1981, he took a hard stance toward the Soviet Union.  Where previous leaders of the nations had pursued detente and nuclear arms reduction, Reagan spoke of the Soviet Union as the "evil empire" and, in 1983, proposed a major new space-based missile defense program, the Strategic Defense initiative. 

But in 1985, the positions of the two countries began to shift again.  In March 1985, Mikhail Gorbachev proposed policies of perestroika (restructuring) and glasnost (openness) in the Soviet Union.  In November 1985, Reagan and Gorbachev met in person for the first of several summit meetings they would have, and developed a personal relationship.  

In 1987, Reagan gave a speech in Berlin (a city divided between democratic West Berlin and communist East Berlin).  In that speech you get an example of his appeals to leave communism behind and embrace democracy.  He issued a famous personal appeal to Gorbachev, saying:  

  • <em>We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace. There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace. General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!</em>
