Explanation

The communist rebels in South Vietnam were called the Vietcong. The term "Vietcong" is a portmanteau of "Việt Nam Độc Lập Đồng Minh Hội", which translates to "League for the Independence of Vietnam". They were a political organization and army in South Vietnam and Cambodia which fought against the United States and South Vietnamese governments during the Vietnam War. The other options provided, such as Vietminh, The Vietnamese Communists, Vietcommies, and The Vietnamese Nationalists, are either incorrect or not the commonly used terms to refer to these rebels.
