Explanation: George F. Kennan, a U.S. diplomat, is best known for advocating the policy of containment against Soviet expansion during the Cold War. He outlined this strategy in his “Long Telegram” (1946) and the “X Article” (1947). George C. Marshall is known for the Marshall Plan, and Cordell Hull was U.S. Secretary of State during World War II, but neither is directly associated with containment. Thus, “None of these” is incorrect.
