Solution

The correct option is B To detain people after 9/11
Guantanamo Bay detention camp was built in 2002 on the coast of Guantanamo Bay in southeastern Cuba. After 9/11, US forces entered suspected houses in multiple countries and detained people from different nations who were then secretly taken to the Guantanamo Bay detention camp.
