Answer
A
The government took control of US airlines.
B
A government agency took over airport security.
C
Congress declared war on al-Qaeda and its key allies.
D
The government coordinated the efforts of law enforcement.
E
Congress increased the government’s powers of search and seizure.

Explanation

After 9/11, the federal government created the Transportation Security Administration and took responsibility for airport screening, so B applies. It also strengthened coordination among law-enforcement agencies and expanded government search and surveillance powers through laws such as the USA PATRIOT Act, so D and E apply. Congress authorized military force against al-Qaeda, but it did not formally declare war on al-Qaeda, and the government did not take control of U.S. airlines.
