As an Argentinian here answering, I can tell you that the correct option regarding Argentina, is option C.

In 1976, the military dictatorship took power in Argentina (1976-1983) by overthrowing the presidency of Isabel Perón, widow of former president Juan Domingo Perón. The military has always been influential Argentine politics. Argentine history is laced with frequent and prolongued intervals of military rule.

This dictatorship was ruled by General Jorge Videla.

An initial communiqué declared that the military had decided to take over the Government as a result of "institutional, social and administrative chaos."

It was a time of state terrorism against civilians. The military used to torture, murder and systematically force the disappearance of millions of people. They called their government "National Reorganization Process."

As regards Chile (1973-1990), the correct option would also be C.

The military dictatorship that took place in Chile was an authoritarian government that ruled from 1973 until 1990. It was established after the democratically elected socialist president Salvador Allende.

During the military times, the country was led by General Augusto Pinochet.

The dictatorship took advantage of the economic crisis that took place during Allende's government. They used this to justify their seizure of power. They presented their mission as a "national reconstruction".

It is worth mentioning that the USA used to fund both of these dictatorships.

d.he wanted to send diplomats to communist countries.
