Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the atomic bomb would change the world forever by making it a more dangerous place, is the right answer,

The United States of America was working to develop an atomic weapon since 1940, this was due to the warning given by Albert Einstein about the fact that Nazi Germany is also conducting to prepare such a bomb. Though Harry S. Truman, the then President of the United States ordered to use the atomic bomb, he was afraid of the warning that his advisers gave him, that the use of such a bomb would change the world forever by making it a more dangerous place.
