  • B.Limited War
  • C.Guerilla War
  • D.Insurgency

Answer: A

The Cuban Missile Crisis is the best example of brinkmanship.

Brinkmanship is the practice of pushing a confrontation to the edge of war to make the other side back down. In October 1962 the United States imposed a naval quarantine on Cuba to force the removal of Soviet nuclear missiles, and for thirteen days both superpowers stood at the brink of nuclear war before Khrushchev agreed to withdraw the missiles.

No fighting broke out, so it was not a limited war, and it involved no guerrilla war or insurgency.
