The correct answer is A.

The origins of McCarthyism lie in a speech given by Joe McCarthy in Wheel West Virginia in 1950. In this speech he claimed to have a list of 207 names of individuals working for the US government that were communist or had ties to the Soviet Union. This claim shook the nation, as it increased a sense of paranoia and fear that the American government may be filled with communists.
