The correct answer is C) eliminate the opposition to Mao Zedong.
One of the goals of the Chinese Cultural Revolution of the 1960s was to eliminate the opposition to Mao Zedong.
When Mao Zedong thought that the leaders of the Communist represented a threat to him, he launched the Cultural Revolution in China. In 1966, Mao called the Young People of the Communist Party to take a stand and actively participate and get rid of the negative elements that "had taken China in the opposite direction" of the Communist ideal. Mao formed paramilitary groups with the young people called the "Red Guards."
