Explanation:

In 1983 (note: the year in the question might be a typo, it should be 1983), the United States invaded Grenada. The main reason was to overthrow the government that was seen as having communist influences. Option A is incorrect as the invasion of Grenada had nothing to do with supporting Israel. Option C is wrong because there was no widespread ethnic cleansing in Grenada at that time. Option D is also incorrect as the invasion was not about protecting American businesses from terrorist threats.

Answer:

B. To overthrow its communist - influenced government
