European countries sought to maintain a balance of power.

Explanation: The alliance system developed as states formed partnerships to prevent any one power from dominating Europe and to deter aggression. The other choices are narrower or incorrect explanations (the Anglo-German naval race increased tensions, German isolation was a factor but not the broader cause, and Italy’s neutrality is inaccurate as a general reason).
