Answer
A
the withdrawal of all US assistance to South Vietnam.
B
the withdrawal of all US assistance to North Vietnam.
C
the withdrawal of both US and North Vietnamese troops from South Vietnam.
D
the withdrawal of US troops from Vietnam and the release of American POWs.

Explanation

The 1973 Paris Peace Accords established a cease-fire and required U.S. combat troops to leave Vietnam within 60 days. They also provided for the release of American prisoners of war. The agreement did not require North Vietnamese troops to leave South Vietnam or end all U.S. assistance to South Vietnam, so the correct choice is the withdrawal of U.S. troops and release of American POWs.
