The correct response is:

**It led directly to President Lincoln's call for volunteers, marking the official start of the Civil War.**

This statement accurately reflects the significance of the attack on Fort Sumter, which was the event that prompted Lincoln to call for volunteers to suppress the rebellion, thus officially marking the beginning of the Civil War.
