I'd go with (B). The failure of the invasion just fed Khruschev's propaganda efforts in embarrassing the US.

The other answers don't make a lot of sense. He certainly wasn't shy about talking face-to-face with Kennedy or concerned about Castro invading Florida. He also wasn't afraid that Castro might assassinate Kennedy and sought to arrest him, either. Instead, he saw Cuba and Castro as a trump card in his efforts to spread Soviet influence in the West.
