Which statement best describes the response by the United States and its allies to the Berlin blockade?

The United States and its allies responded to the Soviet blockade with the Berlin Airlift. Cargo planes flew food, fuel, and other necessities into West Berlin every day, landing at the city’s airports. They did not rely on trucks, boats, or purchases from East Berlin, so the best choice is “Planes dropped tons of supplies around the city each day.”
