Answer 1

The correct answer is option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The American troops killed in the Beirut bombing were stationed in Lebanon to restore order after an Israeli invasion the year before.

Reagan sent soldiers to Lebanon in 1983 as part of a multinational force. The troops were trying to restore order and stability in the country following an Israeli invasion in the previous year. However, more than two hundred troops were tragically killed in a barracks bombing carried out by Iranian-trained militants known as Hezbollah.
