The answer is B.

Stalin wanted America to surprise attack the Nazis in the east because all the Nazi soldiers were focused on Russia. This would cause the Nazi army to take away some troops and focus on the East.

Also, Stalin believed the Americans were stalling or buying time while Russia took on all the brute force of Germany, and did all the work basically. He had seen this as an attempt by America to avoid a lot of the war and come in later when Germany was week while Russia would have lost a lot of soldiers, and did most of the fighting.
