The correct answer is D.

In fact, Western European nations and the US sided together during the Cold War era, because they shared economic and political values (capitalism, free trade and democracy) and because they wanted to contain the expansion of the communism, as the URSS was already exercising its influence in Eastern Europe, where many countries had became soviet republics, satellite states within the communist bloc.

A common economic factor among United States-aligned nations in Europe during the Cold War was "capitalism and free trade" since the USSR focussed on communism.
