I'd say C because high unemployment was not something that started the Red Scares and Everyone was afraid of the Communist Approving Party so they definitely would not grow.

The correct answer is C) It resulted in the passage of laws restricting civil liberties.

The First and Second Red Scare were both time periods in American history where Americans were worried about the spread of communism within American society and the government. The First Red Scare took place immediately after World War I while the Second Red Scare took place after World War II. Both resulted in laws that restricted freedom of speech.
