The correct answer is:
C It asked Mexico to join the war with Germany.
The Zimmerman Telegram was a secret communication sent by the German government to Mexico, proposing a military alliance against the United States. In return for Mexico's support, Germany promised to help Mexico regain territory it had lost to the U.S., including Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. This message, when intercepted and made public, fueled anti-German sentiment in the U.S. and contributed to the United States' decision to enter World War I.
