Which best explains how the policies of the Great Leap Forward led to the Cultural Revolution?

The Great Leap Forward caused widespread hardship and economic disruption, weakening Mao Zedong’s influence. Other Communist Party leaders responded with more practical economic policies that allowed some market incentives and were seen by Mao as capitalist ideas. Mao launched the Cultural Revolution to attack those leaders and reassert his authority, so the best choice is “China’s party leaders introduced capitalist ideas after the Great Leap Forward, prompting Mao Zedong to call for a revolution.”
