Explanation

The Yom Kippur War, also known as the 1973 Arab Israeli War, was fought from October 6 to October 25, 1973. The conflict began when a coalition of Arab states, led by Egypt and Syria, launched a surprise attack on Israel on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism. The primary objective of the Arab coalition was to regain territories lost to Israel during the Six Day War of 1967, specifically the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights. This war had significant global impacts, including the 1973 oil crisis, and eventually paved the way for the Camp David Accords. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
