The official U.S. policy towards the Soviet Union by the 1950s was containment, which aimed to prevent the spread of communism and Soviet influence around the world. This policy was first articulated in the Truman Doctrine of 1947 and was a cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy throughout the Cold War. Appeasement was an approach taken by some Western European countries in the 1930s towards Nazi Germany, and was not a viable option for the United States during the Cold War. Cooperation was an intermittent possibility during the Cold War, but was not consistently pursued as a primary policy. Ignore and military intervention were not viable options for the United States either, as ignoring the Soviet Union would have allowed for their expansion and military intervention could have led to disastrous consequences. Thus, the best choice is B - containment.
