Final answer:

The term 'Arabic Pledge' does not correspond to any known stance or policy by President Woodrow Wilson during World War I, and the question may conflate Wilson's era with events from World War II. Wilson emphasized neutrality during World War I, later altered by events such as the Zimmermann Telegram. History shows Wilson supporting the League of Nations post-World War I, not a stance on an 'Arabic Pledge' in North Africa.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question appears to be based on a confusion of historical contexts. The term "Arabic Pledge" does not correspond to any known direct stance or policy by President Woodrow Wilson during World War I. Wilson is known for his efforts to keep the United States neutral during the escalating war, emphasizing a policy of neutrality and maintaining commerce with all belligerents. However, he was compelled to alter this stance as the war progressed and the United States faced provocations such as the sinking of its ships and the Zimmermann Telegram. The involvement of the United States under President Franklin D. Roosevelt in North Africa during World War II, known as Operation Torch, is a separate matter and not connected to Wilson. Wilson's actual foreign policy actions included his Fourteen Points and the push for the creation of the League of Nations post-World War I.



It appears that the question may be conflating President Wilson's era with World War II, which was under President Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration, or conflating different policies or actions. Without a specific historical context or clarity regarding the term "Arabic Pledge", it is not possible to accurately categorize Wilson's stance as none of the provided options correctly represents historical facts concerning Woodrow Wilson and World War I.
