Explanation:
The reason why the counterculture movement is your answer is because the counterculture movement was protesting against people going into war. They protest for war, gender norms, and etc. The people that were protesting in this movement questioned the government on their idea of getting involved in wars like Vietnam and other foreign counties. The movement was typically made up of young men and women, mostly in the college life. The reason why people protested was because of the violence, dangers, and devastation of going to war. They wanted to bring the troops that were all ready in the war back home, they saw that the war was very unnecessary and is just taking people's lives away for nothing, and bringing terror into people's lives. They didn't only fought for the war, but they also fought for counterculture in things like work, everyday life. and etc. Counterculture appeared in Films, Musicals, Businesses, and more. People rejected the cultural standards that they were born in, and respected many other things of different culture. But to sum it all up, Draft Resisters were especially in this movement.

Why the other answer choices are incorrect:
The reason why the feminist movement is INCORRECT is because:
The feminist movement focused on women's rights, and has nothing to do with drafting people into a war. The women rights movement was another topic for another scenario in the U.S. So this answer choice would be eliminated.
The reason why the temperance movement is INCORRECT is because:
The movement focused on alcohol and the amount of it consumed illegal. They focused on alcoholism and not a war.This movement was way before the Vietnam War even occurred, so this would be another answer choice eliminated.
The reason why the organized labor movement is INCORRECT is because:
The movement focused on making work conditions more safe for workers, and have better pay for the people working in places with hard labor. The work environment has nothing to do with drafting people into war. This is why this answer choice will be eliminated.
All of these answer choices would be ELIMINATED because they do not match with the term "Draft Resisters"
