I'm giving the MOST points (if you help...) Will mark as well (additional points...) Which of the following phrases best describes the relationship between the attacks on 9/11 and ISIL? A. The attacks on 9/11 encouraged ISIL to grow even stronger, because they realized that it was possible to harm the U. S. B. The U. S. war in response to the attack on 9/11 caused chaos in the Middle East, which contributed to the rise of ISIL. C. The attacks on 9/11 greatly frustrated the leaders of ISIL, mostly because they were hoping to attack the United States first. D. The attacks on 9/11 caused the U. S. to supply the leaders of ISIL with weapons, which ultimately backfired when those weapons were turned against the U. S.
