I believe the answer is: d. Jennings was uncomfortable with having to send strong warnings to Germany against their indiscriminate submarine warfare.

Jennings feared that by sending strong warnings to Germany, United States' citizens would become the new main target of the attack which could lead to million of death. Not wanting to be held responsible for that, Jennings choose to resign instead.
