The statement that most accurately reflects why the United States needed to mobilize for World War II is: **The United States entered World War II.**

The U.S. mobilized for World War II largely in response to the attack on Pearl Harbor by Japan on December 7, 1941, which led to a declaration of war against Japan. Shortly after, Germany and Italy declared war on the United States, prompting further mobilization efforts. The U.S. recognized the need to support Allied nations in their fight against the Axis powers (Germany, Italy, and Japan) to protect democracy and global stability. Mobilization included military enlistment, production of war materials, and economic adjustments to support the war effort.

The other statements do not accurately encapsulate the motivations for U.S. mobilization during the war.
