Solution

The correct option is C British
Ever since Germany failed to overthrow Britain’s naval supremacy at the Battle of Jutland, the country was on the offensive. Germany began sinking ships in the Atlantic, one of which was the British ship Lusitania. The loss of the ship's passengers, including 128 American citizens, created a wave of anger in the USA, ultimately leading to the entry of the United States into the First World War.
