      The correct answer is D) President John F. Kennedy asked his Science Advisory Committee to investigate Carson’s claims.

      Explanation: Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring” raised public awareness about the environmental impact of pesticides, particularly DDT. The book garnered significant attention and prompted President Kennedy to take action by requesting that his Science Advisory Committee evaluate the scientific claims made in Carson’s work, leading to increased governmental scrutiny of pesticides and environmental policy. This marked a pivotal moment in the environmental movement in the United States.
