a. economic opportunities for all chinese were increased.
b. china began to align politically with communist nations.
c. the chinese education system completely collapsed.
d. chinese culture rapidly industrialized and westernized.

Explanation:

During the Cultural Revolution, schools were closed, teachers were persecuted, and educational activities were severely disrupted, leading to a near - collapse of the education system. Option A is incorrect as the Cultural Revolution did not increase economic opportunities for all. China had already aligned politically with communist nations before the Cultural Revolution, making B incorrect. And Chinese culture did not rapidly industrialize and Westernize during the Cultural Revolution; instead, there was a focus on revolutionary and ideological aspects, so D is incorrect.

Answer:

C. The Chinese education system completely collapsed.
