The correct answer is D. Iranian Hostage Crisis

When there was an overthrow in Iran, Jimmi Carter admitted the Shah of Iran into the United States in order to provide him the necessary medical care, which was against the wishes of Iranian people who wanted him to stand trial. He tried to resolve it and failed and the hostages taken were released when Reagan became president.
