Answer:

The correct answer is C. World peace was a major goal of members of the American counterculture in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Step-by-step explanation:

The era of the 1960s and 1970s in America was greatly influenced by the Cold War, especially the Vietnam War. Day after day, news of American casualties on the front caused sadness and despair in society, especially in the youngest, as many of them had friends in the front.

Faced with this situation of extreme militarization of daily life, many young people began to create groups with pacifist tendencies, such as hippies, and began to protest against war. The "Flower Power" movement began to face the government in mass mobilizations, protesting against the Cold War and demanding total demilitarization and world peace.
