Solution
The Suez Crisis in 1956 was precipitated by the nationalization of the Suez Canal by Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser. This move was a response to the withdrawal of financial support by the United States and Britain for the construction of the Aswan Dam, due to Egypt's growing ties with the Soviet Union. This led to a military response from Britain, France, and Israel, who sought to regain control of the canal. Therefore, the correct answer is:
b) American withdrawal of financial support for the Aswan Dam to punish Nasser for his friendliness with the Soviets.
