The correct response is: **Senator Joe McCarthy grew its power and influence.**
During the early years of the Cold War, particularly in the 1950s, Senator McCarthy’s anti-communist campaign heightened the public and political focus on communist threats, which in turn strengthened the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) and its activities.
