The correct answer is D. All of the above

Step-by-step explanation

The Iranian Revolution is the name by which a set of events is known that led to the overthrow of Shah Mohammad Reza PahlevĂ­ in 1979. This was the result of various political, social, cultural, and economic moves made by the Shah (backed by the States United and England) since he wanted to westernize the country, which caused the displeasure of the Islamic religious leaders of the country, who called on the population to rise against these policies that went against the traditions of the country. Once the Shah was removed from power, and anti-Western Islamic theocratic system was established. So the correct answer is D. All of the above.
