During World War II, public opinion of the Eiffel Tower changed primarily due to the context of the war and the German occupation of France. Many Parisians had a complicated relationship with the tower, which was often seen as a symbol of French pride and culture. However, the occupation led to mixed feelings.
While some took pride in their landmark, others associated it with the occupation and thus had negative feelings towards it. The most accurate choice would likely be:
D. People grew to dislike the tower even more.
This reflects the sentiment that arose from the complexities of wartime emotions and national pride in the face of occupation.
