"To stop the supplies going to Britain and France" was the one reason among the following choices given in the question why Germany abandoned the “Sussex Pledge". The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option. I hope that this is the answer that has helped you.

I believe the answer is: to stop the supplies going to Britain and France

sussex pledge was a promise that Germany made to united states to not attack passengers ships that passed through European water. Germany disrespect this pledge by attacking passengers ships which they believed to contain supplies for the british and French soldiers.
