B. The counterculture pressured the government to end the war through protests.

The counterculture of the late 1960s and 1970s played a significant role in shaping public opinion about the Vietnam War, with many individuals participating in protests, demonstrations, and other forms of activism that directly opposed U.S. involvement in the conflict. This grassroots movement helped to shift views and ultimately contributed to growing discontent with the war among the general population.
