The statement that best explains why Russia left World War I before it ended is:

The damage of the war caused an internal revolution.

Russia's involvement in World War I resulted in significant military losses, economic hardship, and social unrest, ultimately leading to the Russian Revolution in 1917. The resultant upheaval forced the Bolsheviks to negotiate peace with Germany, leading to Russia's withdrawal from the war with the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk in March 1918.
