i think its d

I agree.

You are correct. The iron curtain came to symbolize the growing fear of communism and the division of Europe into eastern and western blocs. When Winston Churchill used the term "iron curtain" in his speech in 1946, he was referring to the Soviet Union's control over Eastern European countries, which were seen as being behind a metaphorical iron curtain. This marked the beginning of the Cold War period, where the East (under Soviet influence) and the West (under Western influence) were politically and ideologically divided. The iron curtain became a powerful symbol of this division and the fear of communism spreading further across Europe. So, option 4 is the correct answer.
