Answer

B
the Cold War was just beginning.
C
the Cold War was nearing its end.
D
Cold War tensions over Berlin were at their height.

Explanation

President Kennedy delivered his “Ich bin ein Berliner” speech in West Berlin in 1963, during the Cold War. The Berlin Wall had been built in 1961, and the city remained a major flashpoint between the United States and the Soviet Union. So the speech came when Cold War tensions over Berlin were high, not when the Cold War was ending or just beginning.
