The right answer is "A. Because he conditioned the younger generation to honor him above their families ".

Despite the atrocities, the Soviet Union under Stalin became the second largest economy in the world after World War II, won great victories against Nazi Germany and developed nuclear technology in a fairly short space of time. Stalin led the country's post-war reconstruction projects and promoted the development of space technology. Many young people saw this with good eyes and made them believe that Stalin was a great leader and that he deserved to be honored.
