The correct answer is - A) the Chines Communist Party harassed and tortured people who were against Mao's ideas.

Mao Zedong, the leader of the Chinese Communist Party, was considered by many people in China as a despot, and they most certainly had lots of justified reasons for that.

Mao was a tyrant, and he was extreme towards anyone that he considered as a threat to himself or the communist ideology. He did not thought twice before sending people to harass, torture, imprison, and murder people that were not seen fondly by him.

It also might have something to do with the fact that from his politics, around 20 million people died during his reign, which make him as one of the worst leaders in the human history.
