Solution

The correct answer is c. Fear of communist takeover of Southeast Asia.

The US involvement in the Vietnam War was primarily driven by the 'Domino Theory' that was popular during the Cold War era. This theory suggested that if one country in a region came under the influence of communism, then the surrounding countries would follow in a domino effect. The US feared that a communist takeover in Vietnam would lead to more communist takeovers in Southeast Asia.
