It sent financial aid and US troops to South Vietnam.
B
It asked allies to send financial aid to North Vietnam.

Explanation

The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution gave President Johnson broad authority to expand U.S. military action in Vietnam. The United States increased aid to South Vietnam and sent U.S. troops, including combat forces, to support its government. It did not send advisers to North Vietnam, so choice A is correct.
