Answer:

a. President Reagan ended the Cold War without military action.

Explanation:

The end of the Cold War and the dissolving of the Soviet Union was more or less the result of the strategic policy of "peace through strength" under President Ronald Reagan's administration. This policy builds focus on a clever strategy of the government in trying to nullify the war without the need for military combat or fight.

Under this policy of "peace through strength", President Reagan used a three-part attack on the disarmament of the Soviet Union. First was the economic attack where the Soviet Union's accessibility of high technology was prevented and at the same time diminishing the value of Soviet products in the market.

The second was the increase in the expenditure of the American military so that the US will have a strong position in the negotiation process and also to lead the Soviets to focus more of their economic resources to their own defense system.

Lastly, the clandestine support of any anti-Soviet associations all over the world led to the increase of pressure on the Soviet Union itself, thus leading to the declaration of independence by the small countries that constitute the Union.

So, when British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher said <em>"Ronald Reagan won the Cold War without firing a shot"</em>, she refers to the way that <u>Reagan led to the end of the war without the need for any military action. </u>
