  1. The Watergate break-in
  2. The civil rights demonstration at the Mexico City Olympics
  3. The Kent State shootings
  4. The My Lai Massacre
Explanation
Answer: D - In 1968, a company of U.S. servicemen in South Vietnam committed a mass murder of South Vietnamese villagers in My Lai, which would become known as the My Lai Massacre. The soldiers killed between 347 and 504 people, most of whom were women, children and the elderly. When the American public learned of the event the next year, the knowledge only enflamed the already fervent anti-war movement.
