Explanation:

Analyze the US role in the Bosnian War

The United States initially avoided direct military intervention but eventually led NATO airstrikes against Bosnian Serb forces in 1995 to stop ethnic cleansing and force peace negotiations.

Evaluate the options

• Option A is incorrect because the US did not send ground troops as part of the initial UN peacekeeping force (UNPROFOR).
• Option B is incorrect because the Bosnian War (1992–1995) occurred after the fall of communism in Europe.
• Option C is correct because the US military intervened primarily through NATO airstrikes targeting Bosnian Serb forces to halt their offensive.
• Option D is incorrect because the US opposed, rather than supported, the Serbian forces.
