C is correct

Explanation:Explanation: Similarly to Wilson or FDR, Truman was internationalist and wished collaboration with USSR. He supported development of A-bomb because of the war with Japan.

That is why he initiated Marshall Plan (1947) designed to help european countries - that is the moment when Cold War started.
