The answer to this is subjective and depends to a great
degree on what your textbook and/or your teacher says. I would argue that the best of
the answers is D. A is the only other answer that is
plausible.
The War Powers Act was meant to help fix the
problems that led to the fiasco in Vietnam. It was supposed to take away the
President's power to unilaterally go to war. However, this was not something that was
really going to heal the wounds of what had already
happened.
The opening of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial did
much more to heal the wounds. For the first time, Americans of all sorts were able to
say "thank you," as it were, to the Vietnam veterans who had gotten such a bad reception
when they actually came home from combat. It also allowed Americans to honor them for
their sacrifices. This helped to bridge the gap between those who had fought in and/or
supported the war and those who had not.
