weaken the threat posed by al - qaeda.
remove saddam hussein from power.

Explanation:

The 2001 - launched war in Afghanistan was a response to the September 11 attacks. Al - Qaeda, based in Afghanistan at the time, was responsible for the attacks. The main goal was to weaken the threat posed by al - Qaeda. It was not about seizing oil supplies, as there was no such primary objective. The spread of communism was not a concern in 2001 as the Cold War was over. Saddam Hussein was in Iraq, not Afghanistan.

Answer:

C. weaken the threat posed by al - Qaeda
