The correct answer is **C**: the committee was concerned that the Treaty of Versailles would force U.S. involvement in foreign military conflicts.
The Nye Committee, officially known as the Special Committee on the Investigation of the Munitions Industry, examined the reasons for the U.S. entering World War I and concluded that the influence of arms manufacturers and the financial interests of the munitions industry had led to unnecessary involvement in the war. This fueled a sentiment in the United States during the 1930s that emphasized isolationism and skepticism about foreign entanglements, especially in light of the consequences of the Treaty of Versailles. The committee's findings contributed to a broader isolationist movement that sought to keep the U.S. out of future conflicts.
