Answer:

b) submarines

Step-by-step explanation:

On February 3, 1917, the United States declared war.. cut relations with Germany. As US interests lied with the British, an ongoing war overseas with the use of submarine warfare pioneered by Germans and English turned the tides of war in favor of the allies. Woodrow Wilson declared war on March of the same year, American merchant ships were sunk by U boats. The German submarines sank those vessels as they were sunk without warning and confused as boats carrying war supplies.

As the Lusitania was sunk, Wilson declared war and ,Congress approved the motion. The entrance of the US changed the odds of the war since then.
