The correct answer is A, as the statement is true.  Although the 1968 Tet offensive was a serious military setback for the North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong, it proved to be a major psychological victory for them because it further eroded the U.S. public support for the war.

Explanation:

The Tet Offensive was a major attack by Vietnamese communist forces against South Vietnamese and American forces during the Vietnam War, in the local New Year celebration on January 31, 1968.

The best known of the attacks was the terrorist attack on the Saigon Embassy. The attack was, in effect, a surprise, although the Americans had a hint of it in advance. The Communists killed at least 2,000 civilians in Hue, which they occupied. The Americans held their ground in Khe Sanhi. Militarily, the Tet Offensive was a defeat for the communist forces, as most of the attacks were struck within three weeks. But the attack was a sign that the United States had failed to defeat the guerrilla resistance. Thus, the attack turned the mood of the American population even more against the war.

- "the civil rights movements"

- "following the american civil war and abolition of slavery, the united states entered a period known as reconstruction, during which black americans continued to suffer from disenfranchisement, racial segregation, and economic oppression. beginning in the early 1950's, black americans launched a series of major campaigns of civil resistance, emphasizing the need for nonviolent protests and civil disobedience."

"such as the montgomery bus boycott of 1955-56, a campaign launched by rosa parks against the policy of racial segregation of the public transit system in alabama. “sit-ins” became popular across the american south, particularly in greensboro, north carolina, increase national sentiment."

- "the counterculture movement"

- "counterculture began to develop in the united states following the rise of conformity in american culture during the 1950s. by 1963, youth, particularly those of the white middle class, began rejecting the cultural standards and normality of their parents, opting for progressive attitudes instead. the movement gained momentum as the civil rights movement became increasingly successful and as the u.s. military intervention of vietnam began to take a negative turn."

"hippie counterculture moved further into popular culture following the summer of love in 1967 when thousands of people came together in the haight-ashbury neighborhood of san francisco. along with greenwich village in new york city, haight-ashbury became a hub for the counterculture movement."
