Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Different Soviet leaders are associated with major Cold War events and reforms that shaped world history.

Step 1: Match Nikita Khrushchev. Nikita Khrushchev was the Soviet leader during: \[ \text{Cuban Missile Crisis (1962)} \] Thus: \[ A \rightarrow 1 \]

Step 2: Match Leonid Brezhnev. Leonid Brezhnev is associated with: \[ \text{Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan (1979)} \] Thus: \[ B \rightarrow 2 \]

Step 3: Match Mikhail Gorbachev. Mikhail Gorbachev introduced reforms such as: \[ \text{Glasnost} \] and \[ \text{Perestroika} \] Thus: \[ C \rightarrow 3 \]

Step 4: Match Boris Yeltsin. Boris Yeltsin played a major role during: \[ \text{Dissolution of USSR} \] Thus: \[ D \rightarrow 4 \] Hence, the correct matching is: \[ A-1,\quad B-2,\quad C-3,\quad D-4 \] Therefore, \[ \boxed{A-1,\; B-2,\; C-3,\; D-4} \]
