Answer:

b. Remove pro-communist leaders from power.

Explanation:

The purpose of the CIA was to train special agents and send deploy them to countries with communist activity with the objective of creating a government with pro-American stability. In other words, the mission of the CIA was to overthrow political political leaders with communist ideals for their countries.

The CIA succeded in this effort by overthrowing Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh of Iran in 1953 and President Jacobo Arbenz of Guatemala in 1954.
