Answer:

A, to overthrow a dictator

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2003 invasion of Iraq had many different goals. One of them was the removal from power of Saddam Hussein, the Iraqi dictator and tyrant, who was accused of being connected to al-Qaeda and of developing weapons of mass destruction.

The invasion started with a 21-day major combat operation with joint forces from the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Poland.

The end of Hussein's dictatorship brought about the first Iraqi parliamentary election in January 2005. USA forces stayed in Iraq until the withdrawal in 2011.
