Answer 1

C. The revolution prompted a general fear of far-left political views. The Bolshevik Revolution created a wave of anti-communist sentiments in the United States, leading to a "Red Scare" and fueling ideological tensions during the early 20th century. The fear of communist infiltration in the government, labor unions and the society at large greatly impacted the political and social scene in the United States, including persecution of suspected communists and communist sympathizers.
