The correct answer is: "The House Un-American Activities Committee wrongly accused many people."
The House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) was founded in 1938 as an investigative committee dependent on the House of Representatives. It intended to detect and combat subversive behaviours observed in private citizens or public employees, or possible relationships of US population with either Communism or Fascism. It was specially active during the Cold War era.
