C. He rushes a law through Parliament drafting men into the military

Explanation:

Between 1937 to 1940 Neville Chamberlain, the then United Kingdom Prime Minister was committed to ensure peace for United Kingdom and Europe at large, hence the European foreign policy termed as "peace for our time".

From this policy, Chamberlain was pursuing a policy of appeasement and containment towards Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler, the German Chancellor, however, he was preparing for the alternative or plan B, which is increasing the strength of Britain's armed forces, by rushing a law through Parliament drafting men into the military, after he realized together with French leaders, that they could no longer ingore the Axis aggressions (mainly Germany, Italy and Japan)

He eventually in September 1939 delivered an ultimatum over the invasion of Poland followed by a declaration of war against Germany.
