Any one of these answers is accepted unless the question asks for more than one.
Why this is the answer
During the Cold War, the United States worried about the spread of communism, the political and economic system of the Soviet Union, to other countries. Both sides also built large numbers of nuclear weapons, so there was a constant fear of nuclear war that could destroy entire cities. That is why communism and nuclear war are the two accepted answers.
