Answer:

The National Liberation Front (NLF) was a political group that was set up in 1960 to overthrow the US-backed South Vietnamese government. The NLF was made up of both communist and non-communist nationalists from South Vietnam who were against President Ngo Dinh Diem's government. So, the correct answer is d, "The South Vietnamese rebels who worked with the North."

Option a, "The South Vietnamese army," is wrong because the NLF was fighting against the South Vietnamese government, which included its army.

Option b, "The Cambodian allies of the North Vietnamese," is wrong because Cambodia did support North Vietnam, but the NLF was not active in Cambodia.

Option c, "The North Vietnamese army," is also wrong because, even though it helped and worked with the NLF, the North Vietnamese army was a separate group with different goals.
