To determine which event happened first, we need to analyze the options provided:<br /><br />A. A bear was mistaken for an intruder and shot at by a U.S. soldier when it tried to climb a fence at a base in Minnesota.<br />B. A U.S. soldier booted up Soviet attack simulation software that was linked to live warning computers.<br />C. A computer glitch caused software to decide that the moon rising over Norway was an incoming Soviet attack on the U.S.<br />D. A Soviet submarine carrying nuclear missiles was fired at by U.S destroyers trying to get it to surface.<br /><br />Based on historical events, the correct answer is:<br /><br />C. A computer glitch caused software to decide that the moon rising over Norway was an incoming Soviet attack on the U.S.<br /><br />This event, known as the "Norwegian Missile Scare" or "Barents Sea Incident," occurred in 1977 when a computer glitch caused the radar system to mistake the moon's reflection for a Soviet missile, leading to heightened tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union.
