Answer:

B: They agree to be loyal only to the United States

Step-by-step explanation:

The oath says that "on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty," Meaning, you give up your loyalty to the foreign nation you came, and become loyal to the US.
