The correct answer is:

An understanding of the number and size of leftover planetesimals in the early solar system.

The giant-impact hypothesis proposes that the Moon was created out of what was left of a collision between Earth and an astronomical body the size of Mars, around 4.5 billion years ago, in the Hadean eon. The heavy bombardment was a period when leftover planetesimals hit planets during the solar system's first hundred million years.

Answer:

b. To prevent Eastern Germans from leaving.

This cut off all communications of West Berlin to the Western half of Germany as well, which initiated the Berlin Airlift. Following the Berlin Airlift, the USSR lifted the wall, and soon fell into disarray after.
