d. israel lost a large portion of its territory to palestinian militants.

Explanation:

In the 1980s, the U.S. military involvement in Lebanon saw deadly bombings (like the 1983 Beirut barracks bombings) that led to the U.S. troops being forced to withdraw. Option A is incorrect as Communist forces weren't the main issue. Option C is wrong as Arab states' support for the U.S. didn't increase. Option D is incorrect as Israel didn't lose territory to Palestinian militants in this context.

Answer:

B. American troops were forced to withdraw following deadly bombings.
