A quick timeline:
March 1917: Russians overthrow the Tsar, and a provisional goverment is set up, which was to set up a democratically elected goverment.
April 1917: America declared war on Germany.
October 1917: Bolshevik Revolution - Russian communists overthrow the Provisional government, sparking the Russian Civil War.

Thus, A and B were out - the war declaration had nothing to do with Russia and occured about the same time as the first resolution. Also, Russia was still part of the Allies at the time the US declared war.

This leaves C and D. Once the Bolsheviks seized power in Russia, the first Red Scare started in the US, causing the US to worry about Communism.

Unfortunately, neither answer remaining is completely correct - the Red Scare was more a worry about home-grown communists and anarchists rather than Russian Communists (although the Bolshevik Revolution and ensuing Russian Civil War definitely added fuel to the fire), and D is technically incorrect, because the US did aid the White Russians in that Civil War (who were the remnants of the March revolution that overthrew the Tsar). I'd pick C.

They went from being a monarchy to being a republic. Lots of people who didn't like the revolution left after it.
