 D) The Soviets detonated their first atomic bomb in 1949.

Detail:

The Soviet Union had conducted espionage concerning the United States' "Manhattan Project," which was the US government's development of atomic bombs during World War II.  The US tested its first atomic bomb in July, 1945, and then used two such bombs to force Japan to surrender in August, 1945.

The USA would not share its nuclear weapons technology with the USSR, even though the two nations were allies during World War II.  But by 1949, the the Soviet Union had developed and tested its own atomic bomb.  From that point on, an arms race truly began between the two superpowers.

this belief is based on an object that was discovered only a century ago. it has already earned a place alongside the rosetta stone as one of the most important artifacts of the ancient world. this stela (stone pillar) bears the inscription of the code of hammurabi, and it has shed light on the laws, culture and life in babylonia.
