Answer:

C. 1998

Step-by-step explanation:

The terrorist attacks on the United States embassies in Africa took place on August 7, 1998 in Nairobi (Kenya), and in Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), the main objective being the embassies of the United States. These attacks, whose authors were linked to the terrorist group Al-Qaeda, led to Osama bin Laden, leader of the group, being included in the list of the ten most wanted FBI fugitives.

In response to the events, on August 20, 1998, Operation Infinite Reach was carried out, through a missile attack from a United States Navy cruiser to an Al-Qaida training camp in Afghanistan and the destruction of a pharmaceutical plant in Sudan, following suspicions that chemical weapons were produced at the Al Shifa plant and controlled by the Arab terrorist Osama bin Laden.
