Yes, the correct answer is d. A series of surprise attacks launched by North Vietnamese forces against every major city in South Vietnam.
To arrive at the correct answer, you can eliminate options a, b, and c by understanding the context and events surrounding the Tet Offensive.
The Tet Offensive was a major military campaign during the Vietnam War, which took place in 1968. It was named after the Tet holiday, which is the Vietnamese New Year.
Option a, a combined North Vietnamese and Chinese attack on the American navy in the Gulf of Tonkin, is incorrect because the Tet Offensive did not involve Chinese forces, and it didn't target the American navy specifically.
Option b, an all-out invasion of North Vietnam by South Vietnamese and American troops, is incorrect because the Tet Offensive was launched by the North Vietnamese forces against South Vietnam, not the other way around.
Option c, an American bombing campaign against Communist forces in Laos and Cambodia, is incorrect because the Tet Offensive was a ground-based military campaign, and it did not involve extensive American bombings in Laos and Cambodia.
Therefore, the correct answer is d, a series of surprise attacks launched by North Vietnamese forces against every major city in South Vietnam.
