Answer:

The correct answer is option B). "1898, during the Spanish-American War".

Step-by-step explanation:

Hawaii annexation in 1898 to the United States territory helped that country to become a power of the Pacific. United States was worried that Hawaii might become part of the European territory but in 1898, President William McKinley urged the annexation on Hawaii in part due to the nationalism that emerged from the Spanish-American War.
