Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
Under Nikita Khrushchev, Soviet foreign policy aimed to detach countries from the direct influence of the United States through supporting anti-colonial and anti-imperialist movements, providing economic and military aid, and encouraging socialist revolutions. This was known as the "policy of peaceful coexistence," which promoted competition with the United States while avoiding direct military confrontation.
