Eli Jackson · Answer 1

I believe the correct answer is D. a war in which a nation uses all its available resources to support the war effort.

A total war refers to the fact that a country will use any resources it has, including weapons, people, the infrastructure, to support the war effort against another country. It will spare nothing to defeat the enemy in the total war.
