Answer:

A. The United States avoided alliances that would have forces them to participate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The United States had not formed any alliances with European nations and the populace very much wanted to stay out of any foreign affairs. Reasons for the Unites States to eventually join the war in 1917 would be because of German threats and economical reasons.
