Answer: D) McCarthy's accusations regarding communist infiltration of the government were discredited.

Explanation: Following the nationally televised Senate hearings, Senator Joseph McCarthy's accusations regarding communist infiltration of the government were discredited. Under intense questioning by fellow Congressmen, McCarthy was exposed, to quote Army Counsel Joseph N. Welch, as a man "with no sense of decency," as well as a liar and a bully.
