how did fighting against terror groups force the u.s. to change its tactics?
a. the u.s. simply used its vast military size to overwhelm these groups.
b. the u.s. had to scale down its operations even going door to door and patrolling individual streets
c. the u.s. relied on its air power more to bomb terrorist centers until they surrendered
d. the u.s. would rely more on intelligence agencies to locate terror groups and reform them.

Explanation:

When fighting against terror groups, the U.S. couldn't just rely on large - scale military operations (option a is incorrect as it's too simplistic). Relying mainly on air power (option c) didn't address the grassroots nature of terror groups. Reforming terror groups (option d) is not a common or effective short - term military tactic. Terror groups often operate in urban areas and in a decentralized manner. Scaling down operations, going door - to - door, and patrolling individual streets (option b) is a more appropriate tactic to deal with such non - conventional, often urban - based terror groups.

Answer:

B. The U.S. had to scale down its operations even going door to door and patrolling individual streets.
