Correct, the United States invaded Afghanistan as part of their policy to combat terrorism after the September 11 attacks.
To determine the country that the United States invaded as part of the policy mentioned in the quote, we can look at the context and events that followed. The quote was given by U.S. President George W. Bush on September 20, 2001, shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City.
In response to these attacks, the United States initiated a military campaign known as the War on Terror. The first country that the U.S. invaded as part of this campaign was Afghanistan (option C). The invasion of Afghanistan was aimed at dismantling the Taliban regime, which was accused of harboring and supporting the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda, responsible for the 9/11 attacks.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. Afghanistan.
