Answer:

B) Saddam Hussein´s invasion of Kuwait.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Persian Gulf War was a response to the invasion of Kuwait by Hussein´s forces. The Arab Powers went to the United States and the U.N. Security Council who demanded him to retreat from Kuwait.

With the negativity of Hussein to withdraw the U.S. led an air offensive that lasted 42 days and ended with the surrender of the Iraqi forces on that country.

I hope this answer helps you.
