and it is not A

Answer 1

If it's not (A), then I'd go with (D) The Vietcong and North Vietnamese demonstrated that they could still fight.

Even though the US and South Vietnam beat back the Vietcong and won the battle, it was a shock for a number of reasons. The military knew they were up to something, but not something like this. They underestimated their ability to wage such a widespread offensive in multiple cities. In the US itself, it was a shock there as well as people were led to believe that North Vietnam was beaten down. But the scale of the Tet Offensive had shown just how determined they were.
