Which of the reasons below best explains why America was unable to defeat the North Vietnamese?

a
Americans were unable to fight in the jungle since they weren't used to the climate or conditions. Ultimately, they were too sick and tired to defeat the enemy.
b
The Vietnamese people proved to be far more committed to winning the war and defending their country than the Americans were to defeating communism.
c
Americans went into Vietnam without support from the UN. They were unable to win the war without support from their allies.
d
North Vietnam had much more sophisticated technology than the US did, supplied by their communist supporters in the USSR.

I believe the best answer is A. Americans were unable to fight in the jungle since they weren't used to the climate or conditions. Ultimately, they were too sick and tired to defeat the enemy.
