The correct answer is in 1947.

The year in which the House Un-American Activities Committee investigated the movie industry in an attempt to root out Communism sympathizers was 1947.

In July 1946, Billy Wilkerson, the owner of the "Holywood Reporter", made a campaign to expose Communist supporters in the film industry of Holywood. It was not until November 25, 1947, that he had his Blacklist of people with Communist ideas working in the film industry. That is why the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) investigated if Communist supporters had included propaganda in films. Among the people that testified before the committee were Ronald Reagan and Walt Disney.

The options of the question were, A) 1947. B) 1950. C) 1955. D) 1945.
