The country that would be the best source of chromium for specialty steel production within the United States is South Africa.

This is because South Africa is known to have the highest deposits of chromium, with about 17,000,000 out of the 40,000,000 worldwide.

Also, South Africa was known to have supported the likes of the United States during the Cold War.

Options B and C are wrong because Brazil and Zimbabwe have no chromium deposits.

Option D is wrong because India stylishly supported the Soviet Union during the cold war; hence, they wouldn't have supplied the United States with the Chromium needed.

Also, option E is wrong because Russia forms the larger part of the Soviet Union, and till today they are still not on the same side in most political issues.

Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the correct answer is option A." South Africa."

Answer:

South Africa

Explanation:

During the Cold War South Africa was a major source of chromium for the United States. South Africa was considered the alternative to imports from the Soviet Union and the People’s Republic of China. Even though there was a world-wide embargo on South African commodities because of its policy of apartheid, the United States imported chromium from the world’s second largest producer. Even though Brazil is located closer to the United States, its chromium production is considerably less than that of South Africa.
