The correct answer is C. withdraw US forces from Vietnam.
Lyndon Johnson's presidency is marked by an escalation of U.S. involvement in Vietnam rather than a withdrawal during his time in office. The other options—improving the health care system, outlawing segregation, and initiating a war on poverty—were all significant aspects of Johnson's Great Society programs.
