d. the u.s. would rely more on intelligence agencies to locate terror groups and reform them.

Explanation:

When fighting terror groups, the U.S. had to adapt to their guerrilla - like tactics. Large - scale military operations were not always effective. Door - to - door searches and street - level patrolling became necessary to gain local intelligence and root out small - scale terrorist cells.
