They were significant because they held the first national protest against the Vietnam War.
Explanation: SDS was the leading national student activist organization of the 1960s, prominent for organizing mass antiwar demonstrations and mobilizing college students against U.S. involvement in Vietnam. They did not organize Woodstock (option 2), did not support the war (option 3), and the early Free Speech Movement sit-ins/teach-ins (option 4) were a separate campus phenomenon (not the defining first action of SDS).
