To determine the correct response, we need to understand the context of the quote and the historical events surrounding it. In 1967, the United States was involved in the Vietnam War, which was a conflict between North Vietnam, supported by the Soviet Union and China, and South Vietnam, supported by the United States and its allies.
Based on the provided quote, it can be inferred that Ho Chi Minh was referring to the United States' aggression during the Vietnam War. This eliminates options A and D, as they are not directly related to the Vietnam War.
Considering the remaining options, option C is also incorrect because there was no invasion of North Vietnam by U.S. and South Vietnamese forces in 1967. This leaves us with option B: U.S. support of the South Vietnamese government. It is the most accurate and directly related to the context of the quote, as the United States provided significant military and financial assistance to the South Vietnamese government during the Vietnam War.
Therefore, the correct response is B: U.S. support of the South Vietnamese government.
