They tried to avoid US troops and bombers.
Explanation: Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces practiced guerrilla warfare—hit-and-run attacks, dispersal, and constant movement—to avoid being fixed and destroyed by superior U.S. firepower (ground search-and-destroy operations and especially air and artillery strikes). The other choices are incorrect: they generally knew the terrain well and relied on civilian support rather than distrusting civilians, and they were the ones who commonly set ambushes rather than being mainly afraid of them.
