B
He began peace talks with the Soviets.
C

Explanation

President Reagan promoted a policy he called “peace through strength,” intending to deter Soviet aggression by building up U.S. military power. This was a new, more forceful approach to the Cold War, not an alliance with Cuba, immediate peace talks, or an attack on the USSR. The correct choice is “He sought a new approach known as ‘peace through strength.’”
