The Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Man, and the lost girl named Dorothy are familiar images in popular culture. They have become icons because of one movie. In 1939, the story The Wizard of Oz was introduced to audiences in a film directed by Victor Fleming. This movie was adapted from the beloved book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. The story is of a girl named Dorothy and her adventures in the Land of Oz.
The movie version of the story brought the book to life and altered it for cinematic purposes. Dorothy's famous ruby slippers were silver in the book, but to capitalize on Technicolor, they were changed to ruby. In addition, the role of the Wicked Witch of the West was expanded to the entire movie. She originally was in only one chapter.
When The Wizard of Oz was first released, it was a minor hit. It only made a small profit. The movie received many award nominations for its cinematic work. It even received the Academy Award for Best Original Song for the song "Over the Rainbow." With subsequent showings on television, the movie became a classic. It has been rebroadcast on television almost every year. The movie has been shown on both network and cable channels, such as CBS and TBS. The American Film Institute's compiled list of the best movies ranked The Wizard of Oz as number 10 out of the top 100 movies.

C. The Movie had only mediocre success in the beginning.

Explanation:

Well there aren't any arguments listed for this question but since profit means the amount of money gained back from an investment or financial endeavor, A and B are ruled out. C and D are possible options since I don't have the arguments, but based off of what's here, my best guess is C, as it does refer to the results of the movie.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
