Answer 1

C. Many critics of the movement were punished and China became a communist country

Step-by-step explanation:

The Cultural Revolution was taking place from 1966 until the mid 1970's. The leader of it was Mao Zedong who wanted to reinforce his position, as well as the position of the Communist Party in the Chinese society. Mao was very cruel, and in order to achieve his goals of making China a one party system communist nation where he had an absolute power he was not thinking twice about the methods used. Everyone that was seen as a political opponent, or even if it was not a political figure but had a different opinion, was severely punished, usually with death.
