(A) feelings of optimism toward nuclear energy in the years after World War II.

While there was "fear in response to the threat of nuclear warfare" in the 1950s (to use the terms of answer B), the popularity of the term "atomic age" had to do with optimism over harnessing nuclear power to change the world. In 1949, the chairman of the US Atomic Energy Commission chairman, had said that "atomic energy is not simply a search for new energy, but more significantly a beginning of human history in which faith in knowledge can vitalize man's whole life." That sort of feeling is what characterized the idea of "the atomic age."

Answer:

Yes, Mayans are Native Americans.

Explanation:

The Mayan civilization lasted nearly 2,000 years in Mesoamerica. It developed in an area that includes southeastern Mexico, the entire western territories of Guatemala and Belize, and Honduras and El Salvador. Despite cultural unity, the pre-Columbian Mayan civilization remained divided among many small nations until the end.
