Explanation:

The Espionage Act (1917) and Sedition Act (1918) targeted material advocating treason/insurrection, banned disloyal speech, and were used to suppress political radicals like socialists and anti-war groups during World War I. The Alien and Sedition Acts (1798) focused more on immigrants and opposition to the federal government without the specific WWI-era radical group targeting, while the other combined name options are incorrect historical pairings.
