Final Answer : C, Explanation :  The American Medical Association (AMA) led a campaign to discredit and eliminate chiropractic as a profession in the mid-20th century. The AMA labeled chiropractors as unscientific practitioners and even went to court to try to prevent chiropractors from practicing. This led to a long legal battle known as the Wilk case, which eventually ended in a victory for chiropractors and their right to practice.
