The correct answer is D.

Bay of Pigs disaster took place in 1961, when the CIA planned and sponsored an invasion of Cuba, after the great power that Fidel Castro had showed and his support of communism. The US underestimated the Cuban forces and the US troops were sent to a terrible defeat with a high number of casualities.
