Answer:
B) His commitment to continue military spending while also seeking disarmament.
Explanation:
In this passage, president Ronald Reagan is making the argument that the reason behind the Soviet Union's willingness to negotiate is based on the strength of the American military. Reagan is trying to make a connection between these two different events.
Based on this passage, it is clear that Reagan thinks that the Soviet Union is worried about the strength of the American military. In order to prevent facing off against the US in a war, the Soviet Union has approached him about an agreement that would de-escalate tensions between the two.
Reagan's belief that this negotiation was a result of the increased military capabilities of the US further justifies his massive spending on this part of the government.
