B.
They aided the French by sending them military advisers and money.

C.
They supported the Vietnamese fight for independence because Ho Chi Minh believed in American-style democracy.

D.
They refused to get involved in any way.

Answer 1

Well, it is not D, since that is why we have the Vietnam War. It is not C, because Ho Chi Minh was a communist, it is B. We helped the French to keep communism down, although it contradicted our doctrine since Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia were colonies of France, but I guess it out weighed the threat of communism and the domino-effect.
