It showed that Egypt had no interest in U.S. support.
B
It reflected Egypt’s move toward communism.

It reflected Egypt’s willingness to work with the Soviet Union.

Explanation

Buying weapons from the Soviet Union showed that Egypt was willing to cooperate with the Soviets, especially as it sought military supplies and support. It did not necessarily mean Egypt was becoming communist or planning to join the Warsaw Pact. Nor did it mean Egypt had no interest in U.S. support. The best choice is D, that Egypt was willing to work with the Soviet Union.
