The correct answer is B. The McCarthy Hearings

Explanation:

Arthur Miller was an American writer and essayist who lived in the 20th century (from 1915 to 2005). One of his most popular works is "The Crucible" a playwright in which Arthur Miller focused on the Salem witch trials that occurred in the Massachusetts Bay colony during the 17th century. However, this theme is only used as an allegory of McCarthyism (one story or message is used to represent another). McCarthyism refers to Senator Joseph McCarthy (from 1940 to 1950) who promoted political repression that led to multiple accusations of treason and communist with no evidence and fear in the U.S. for Communism. In this way, "The Crucible" is based on McCarthy hearings as he promoted the persecution of alleged communist, similar to the persecution of the Salem trials, which were used as an allegory of the situation promoted by McCarthy or McCarthyism.

As such, the mafia is a counterculture.
Take into consideration the counterculture of the 60s - the hippie culture who opposed wars and fought the government in a peaceful way. They wanted to change the society for the better by opposing those in power. Mafia, on the other hand, opposes the entire society, but is still an example of counterculture.
