The correct answer is: The withdrawal enabled Germany to focus its efforts on the Western Front.

Explanation: Russia’s exit (Brest‑Litovsk, 1918) freed large numbers of German troops and matériel from the Eastern Front, which Germany transferred west and used in the 1918 Spring Offensives. While those offensives made initial gains, they ultimately failed to win the war.
