B) The Gulf of Tonkin Incident led Congress to pass the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution allowing the President broad powers to escalate US involvement in Vietnam, and was followed proptly by a large scale bombing campaign (Operation Pierce Arrow) against targets in North Vietnam, and the communists retaliated, striking airfields that US attack aircraft flew from. In response, the President ordered in the Marines to defend the airfields and thus, really, began the escalation of ground combat and air operations in Vietnam.
