Based on excerpt from The Dark Game, it can be inferred from the information in the excerpt that b: Hall knew that growing outrage among the American public would help Britain’s cause
The excerpt states that the British government didn't present the Zimmermann telegram to Wilson for a few weeks, even though there was growing outrage in America over Germany's resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare.
This suggests that the British government was concerned that the public's outrage would wane over time, and that waiting to present the telegram would maximize its impact. Hall's reminder that outrage was growing in America further supports this inference.
