The Roman Republic was a worn-out institution, where civil wars and dictatorships had worn away the power and credibility of the Senate. Governance was impossible. When Caesar Octavianus (his original name), who had already been part of an earlier dictatorship called the Second Triumvirate, assumed as Consul, the Senate (pressured by Roman society, which esteemed him from his dictatorial era) granted him the sum of public power and the title of Augustus. In this way, the transition of the Republic to the Roman Empire occurred, being Caesar Augustus the first Roman emperor.

The correct answer is D. The Tet Offensive was a sudden series of attacks by North Vietnam on bases and towns.
The Tet offensive was a military operation planned by the government of North Vietnam and executed by the North Vietnamese Army and the Viet Cong in 1968, against the US-led allies, especially the Army of the Republic of Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
During the Vietnamese New Year holiday, known as the Tet, the forces of the north along with the Viet Cong guerrillas launched a surprise attack on several strategic points, including the capital, Saigon.
The planning of the offensive was meticulous and the execution well done; but the military results were disastrous; not so the political consequences, especially in the United States. The large number of US soldiers killed during the offensive, about 14,000, was not digested by the American people. The rejection of the war in the United States increased and this meant a turn of the war towards the defeat of the coalition.
Although the US troops recovered the lost territory again, the repercussions of that offensive made vanish any idea of victory installed in the American imagination. And with it, popular support for the presence of troops in Vietnamese territory.
