The correct answer is:

b. Germany’s unrestricted submarine warfare

Specifically, Germany attacked some submarines that had US citizens on-board, and this was in violation of treaties that assured a safe submarine transport in the Atlantic ocean.

An additional reason was that Germany wanted to incite Mexico to start a war against the US.
