The answers is C. When Eisenhower took office McCarthy popularity was on a steady downtrend and the State Department seized this opportunity to bring McCarthy in to a formal trial where McCarthy began accusing the US Military of not persecuting communists because that was what they had become which caused the US Military, who Eisenhower backed, to bring up formal charges against McCarthy and utterly destroy him in the courts.

Answer from: jalenrussell321

McCarthy claimed that there were communists in the US military. That statement describes the action that ultimately ended public support for Senator McCarthy’s investigations.

EXPLANATION

The prospect of communist corruption in home and abroad was so frightening for many Americans in the late 1940s until the early 1950s. Americans’ fear about communist corruption was so reasonable because several cases damaged the political culture on that era. This frightening era is also called "Red Scare".

“Red Scare” is so memorable for many Americans. The most memorable experience from "Red Scare" is Republican Senator Joseph R. McCarthy from Wisconsin. He spent almost five years in vain trying to reveal the existence of the communists and the "loyalty risk" of the left-wing which was so harmful to the U.S. government.

In the Cold War’s situation which was so gripping, various allegations of disloyalty are quite widespread in American society. These accusations state that their government has been filled with traitors and spies. The accusations made by McCarthy are also so terrible that few people dare to oppose them. The climax was when McCarthy attacked the Army in 1954 with various accusations. His actions earned him criticism from the US Senate.
