castro blocked all trade routes between cuba and united states.

Explanation:

1. Analyze each option:

• Option 1: During the Cold War, the US was in conflict with the Soviet Union. Castro's good relations with the Soviet Union (a US rival) was a major reason for the US to cut trade ties as it was a geopolitical concern.
• Option 2: There is no historical evidence that Castro declared to assassinate Eisenhower or destroy the US government, so this is incorrect.
• Option 3: Castro nationalized US - owned industries (brought them under government control), which was a significant economic reason for the US to cut trade ties as it affected US business interests.
• Option 4: Cuba did not have the capability to manufacture hydrogen bombs, and there is no historical basis for this claim, so this is incorrect.
• Option 5: It was the US that cut trade ties, not Castro blocking trade routes, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

A. Castro shared good relations with US Cold War rival, the Soviet Union.
C. Castro brought US - owned industries under government’s control.
