Correct answer choice is:

C) US victory in the Spanish-American War.

Explanation:

The Spanish-American War, 1898. American triumph in the battle affected a peace treaty that constrained the Spanish to surrender rights on Cuba and to cede supremacy over Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines to the USA. The United States also appended the sovereign state of Hawaii through the dispute. The US was equipped to win the Spanish-American War essentially because of excellent marine force.
