The correct answer is letter A.

Mao Zedong's domination under the Chinese government promoted a broad set of reforms in that country. With such a large population, the Cultural Revolution or Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution project was a hegemonic project that mobilized the Chinese masses. Under the call of its political leader, this episode marked the persecution of dissidents to the new regime installed since 1959.
