The correct answer is B) was serious about expanding its area of control in Eastern Europe.

The Berlin blockade after WWII showed Europeans that the USSR was serious about expanding its area of control in Eastern Europe.

In 1948, the Soviet Union attempted to impede the access to the Allies to their part of Berlin, by blocking the roads to and from the positions that Russia had occupied in East Germany. The option that France, the United States, and Great Britain found to resolve the problem and eliminate the possibility of a direct confrontation was to send supplies by air during a year. So yes, the Berlin blockade after WWII showed Europeans that the USSR was serious about expanding its area of control in Eastern Europe.
