Answer
A
the Allied powers defeated Hitler.
B
the United States and the Soviet Union fought each other.
C
the United States and the Soviet Union mistrusted each other.
D
atomic bombs were dropped for the first time.

Explanation

The Cold War was a long period of tension and mistrust between the United States and the Soviet Union. They competed politically and militarily but did not fight a direct war against each other, so “fought each other” is misleading. The Allied victory over Hitler and the first use of atomic bombs happened during World War II, not throughout the Cold War.
