your answer is C. McCarthy claimed that there were communists in the us military

The correct answer is C) McCarthy claimed that there were communists in the US military.

The Army-McCarthy hearings was one of the first nationally televised events where Americans got to see Joesph McCarthy interact with people he accused of being communists. Up to this point, McCarthy receieved a significant amount of support in his quest to ensure that communism did not infiltrate the American government. However, his accusations were not based on evidence, especially when it came to the US army. His claim that communism infiltrated the military had no base and he was soon exposed in front of a national audience for not having evidence to support his claims.
