Correct answer: C) The Cold War was not a conventional war, and its costs are measured by the individual proxy wars.
Explanation:
Both the Korean War and the Vietnam War would factor in as "proxy wars" during the Cold War.
One could argue that there would be ways to chart the costs of the Cold War simply by tabulating what was spent on developing military arsenals that stood ready to be used in the event of direct warfare between the superpowers who opposed each other in the Cold War. As the Cold War continued, the two superpowers (US and USSR) kept escalating their weapons capabilities and stockpiles.
