The correct answer is:

B) Wilson had no choice once the Germans engaged in acts of hostility toward the United States.

Explanation:

World War I began in July 1914, but President Woodrow Wilson decided that the United States would remain neutral to the war. It was until April 1917, when President Wilson and Congress decided to declare war as a response of hostility acts committed by Germans, those acts involved unrestricted submarine warfare and the Zimmerman telegram sent by German Foreign Minister Arthur Zimmerman to Mexico's ambassador, where Germany asked Mexico to go against the United states, and in return Germany would give Mexico American land.
