Who did Secretary of War Newton D. Baker select to be the commander of the American Expeditionary Force?

a. General Leonard Wood
b. General Frederick Funston
c. General Peyton March
d. General John Pershing

I'm thinking it's March because Pershing was selected by President FDR. Is that right?

In May 1917 President Woodrow Wilson and Secretary of War Newton Baker chose Pershing to command the American Expeditionary Force going to Europe in support of the Allies. Arriving in France during June, Pershing immediately began planning the organization and employment of a large American army.
