The correct response is:
**D** threats to American security made by Germany.
The United States became involved in World War I primarily due to German unrestricted submarine warfare, which posed a direct threat to American ships and citizens, as well as other provocations such as the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram, in which Germany sought a military alliance with Mexico against the United States.
