I apologize for any confusion. In World War I, while German troops did occupy northern territories, it is important to clarify that in the latter stages, particularly around 1918, American troops were also deployed very far north in the war efforts, especially toward the closing battles.
However, if we look at the entire conflict, especially in the context of the Western Front, the Germans maintained positions in northern France and Belgium throughout much of the war which were the farthest north compared to the other national forces involved.
If focusing solely on more specific engagements or later stages of the war, American troops were indeed prominent in northern operations, but overall historically, the Germans held the most northern positions throughout most of the conflict.
So, the best answer may depend on the specifics of your question—if you're referring to the entire war, then d German is correct; if considering only specific late-war engagements, the answer could vary.
