Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The Waldorf-Astoria Statement was a formal decree issued by the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) on November 25, 1947, outlining the industry's blacklist policy. It stated that the major studios could not employ or contract anyone who had been identified as a Communist or Communist sympathizer by any of the Hollywood blacklists. The other options are incorrect as they were not decrees related to the blacklist policy, but rather court cases or agreements between studios.
