Answer
A
supported the president’s approach in Vietnam.
B
considered the cost of war to be justified by the results.
C
had begun to question the cost of the Vietnam War.
D
understood the goals of the US in Vietnam.

Explanation

By the late 1960s, the Vietnam War had become increasingly costly in lives and money, while a clear victory seemed unlikely. As casualties mounted and the conflict continued, many Americans began questioning whether the war’s costs were worth it. This makes “had begun to question the cost of the Vietnam War” the best answer; support for the president’s approach was not the prevailing trend.
