Answer 1

Americans became increasingly frightened by nuclear war after World War II. Hence the correct answer is option C

After World War II, Americans became increasingly frightened by C) Nuclear war. The use of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during the war had demonstrated the destructive power of nuclear weapons, leading to widespread fear of their use in future conflicts.
