The most accurate option is: **Hawaii was a strategic location for a naval base.**
Annexing Hawaii was important to the U.S. primarily because it provided a crucial strategic location in the Pacific for naval and military operations, especially as the U.S. expanded its influence in Asia and the Pacific.
