B) to enter on the side of the Central Powers.
C) to remain militarily and politically neutral.
D) to support the Central Powers by providing war materials.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C

Answer 2

C) to remain militarily and politically neutral.

Step-by-step explanation:

The US government had no intention of getting involved in European conflicts and because of this they decided to adopt a military and politically neutral position at the beginning of the first world war.

On April 6, 1917, after remaining in a neutral position for more than two years, the United States declared war on Germany. The act marked the entry of the United States into World War I. US forces joined the allies in the conflict against Germany, providing decisive advantages for the victory. The balance of power in the world has entered a new era.
