Answer 1

D continued into the 2010s

Answer 2

The correct answer is D, as US involvement in Afghanistan continued into the 2010s. The US involvement in the War in Afghanistan, which started after the World Trade Center attacks in 2001 with the purpose of taking out Al Qaeda, is still ongoing until today. Approximately 14,000 American servicemen are in Afghanistan, and to date it is not known when the US involvement in the conflict will end.
