In the post-war period, the Soviets dominated and made decisions on all important issues in the countries of the so-called Warsaw Pact. If there was an indication that some of the states of the eastern block had a tendency to make a decision independently, or would oppose the will of the Soviet Union, there would be an intervention by the Soviets. This is the case with Poland and Hungary. For example, in Hungary, elections were held after the war, in which the communists had only 17% of the votes, while the independent smallholders party won 57% of the votes. The Soviets reacted through their people in Hungary. Commander Voroshilov refused to recognize the results of the election, and with the Communists established a coalition government. Similar was also in Poland and all other countries of the eastern block.
The Soviets could do this with the help of the puppet governments, and their troops stationed there, that supported such marionette governments.
The cold war has resulted in the dominance of some strong nations on the comparatively weaker nations with weak defense and political instability. The USSR also dominated the governments of Poland and Hungary.
The Union of Soviets Socialist Republics (USSR) was a very powerful union and targeted the weaker economies and nations with weak political stability after the cold war.
The nations entered into a Warsaw pact, the soviets took advantage of its power and dominated the decisions made by the weaker governments with a view to control those nations by setting up puppets government.
They also kept their troops stationed there to control any rise of voices against the USSR.
Therefore, the USSR was able to control Poland and Hungary by setting up puppet governments there and keeping Soviets troops stationed there, OPTIONS A and B are correct.
