B. The memory of how bad WWI was still haunted people.
After World War I many Americans became strongly isolationist and wary of entangling the country in another European war. That sentiment showed up in Neutrality Acts of the 1930s, the influential Nye hearings, and groups like the America First Committee. Economic concerns from the Depression mattered, but the primary reason for delayed entry was the public and political desire to avoid another costly, deadly foreign war — until Pearl Harbor forced the U.S. to join.
