Answer 1

During the Great Proletarian Revolution in China, the Red Guards were relied upon by Mao Zedong to eliminate the "four olds".

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is option c. the Red Guards. During the Great Proletarian Revolution in China, Mao Zedong relied on the Red Guards to eliminate the "four olds". The Red Guards were groups of student activists who followed Mao's teachings and were guided by quotations from Mao's "Little Red Book". They were encouraged to attack and purge the country of "bourgeois" elements, which included attacking and killing teachers, administrators, and other figures associated with the "four olds": old customs, old culture, old habits, and old ideas.
