• B. The US abandoned future nuclear tests in Alaska.
• C. The movement failed to create global awareness.
• D. Greenpeace evolved as an international NGO.

Answer 1

The correct option is C The movement failed to create global awareness.

The Greenpeace Movement started out as a protest against nuclear tests in Alaska. The US conducted the first test and the protestors were forced to turn back. Greenpeace could not stop the bomb, but they spread a bigger wave of awareness, which mobilised the public opinion about such nuclear tests. The US decided not to continue with their further test plans in Alaska. The island where the test was conducted was declared a bird sanctuary.
