The United States sent aid to South Vietnam in the 1950s to help South Vietnam without committing US troops to a war.

In the 1950s:

  • North Vietnam an South Vietnam were at war.
  • The U.S. supported South Vietnam because North Vietnam was Communist.

Because the U.S. did not want to commit troops to South Vietnam but still wanted them to win, they sent military aid to them in the hope that they would defeat North Vietnam.

In conclusion, option D is correct.
