    The correct answer is D) Joseph McCarthy.

    McCarthy was a Senator from the state of Wisconsin during the 1950's. At this time, McCarthy claimed to have a list of 207 names of individuals within the US government that were communists. This accusation was seen as an immediate threat to American society, as the US was trying to stop the spread of communism on a global scale. The accusations raised fear and suspicion throughout American society. This era is now known as the second Red Scare.
