a. increasing the number of us troops on the ground
b. firing the general in charge of the operation
c. ignoring criticism from congress
d. copying the bush administrations plans

Explanation:

To answer this, we recall Obama's Afghanistan strategy. A key element was a troop surge, i.e., increasing US troops on the ground. Option B: Firing the general (McChrystal) was due to a controversy, not a key strategy element. Option C: Ignoring Congress criticism isn't a key strategy part. Option D: Obama's strategy was different from Bush's, so not copying. So A is correct.

Answer:

A. Increasing the number of US troops on the ground
