Why do you think the the video uses and animation and song?

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

D. to me the atom bomb seem not so bad.

Explanation:

if I am correct the video is "Duck and Cover"? I remember learning about this last year. The atom bomb was capable of extreme amounts of damage, so downplaying it for the kids and teaching them to 'duck and cover' in the form of a cartoon was the easiest way to help them learn safety procedures in case of an attack.
