A. A gradual handover of the ground war to the South Vietnamese.
President Nixon's policy of "Vietnamization" was a strategy to gradually transfer the responsibility for fighting the war in Vietnam from American troops to the South Vietnamese. The policy aimed to reduce American casualties and costs while ensuring that South Vietnam could defend itself against North Vietnam and the Viet Cong. The policy included training and equipping South Vietnamese forces, expanding their military capabilities, and gradually reducing the number of American troops in Vietnam.
