    The best answer from the option choices given here, to answer the question: Operation Enduring Freedom was launched in October 2001 ..., would be, E: Against Afghanistan, because the United States did not approve of the Taliban's treatment of women.

    Explanation:

    Although the major reason why the U. S launched Operation Enduring Freedom in October 7, 2001, was as a response to the 9/11 attacks, and the support that the Taliban provided for al-Qaeda, in all respects, there were also a lot of other factors that drove President George. W Bush to launch such a major and international offense against a country. Initially, the U. S began through a series of financial policies that sought to dry up the power of the Taliban and thus end their support of al-Qaeda, but later on, they also turned into military actions as it was seen that al-Qaeda was getting really strong support from the Taliban, who were literally ensuring the continued activities of this terrorist network. But there was also the reason of humanitarian violations, including the way that women and children were being abused by the Taliban, something that had not hapened before. Right before the campaign was launched, First Lady Laura Bush also launched a series of campaigns to aid women and children in Afghanistan, while the military campaign of the U. S took effect. This is why the best answer from the choices is E.
