Answer:  a. it suggested that the soviet union might have the capability to launch missiles at American cities.

Context: The Sputnik satellite was sent into orbit by the USSR on October 4, 1957.  The Soviets announced its mission as a scientific one, to study the solar system.  In the Cold War atmosphere, of course, Americans were wary of what other motives the USSR might have had.  The Soviets launched Sputnik 2 in November, 1957, with a dog on board.  The USA scrambled to get its own satellite program operational, launching the first US satellite, Explorer, on January 1, 1958.

pochemuha
The philosophy being referred to in this definition is known as New Federalism.

The goal of this ideology is to give a significant amount of power back to the state government. Nixon, along with other Republicans, felt that the federal government was far too large in its scope and power. This policy of new federalism would roll back this power so that state governments can make decisions based on their individual needs.
