What was a result of the use of chemical weapons during World War I?

Answer
A
Tanks and aircraft were developed to counter the effects of chemical weapons.
B
Trenches were used to protect soldiers from chemical weapons in battle.
C
Many nations agreed to stop using chemical weapons after World War I.
D
Doctors developed treatments that made chemical weapons obsolete.

Explanation

The widespread use of poison gas during World War I led many nations to seek restrictions on chemical weapons. The 1925 Geneva Protocol prohibited the use of chemical and biological weapons in war, making “Many nations agreed to stop using chemical weapons after World War I” the best answer. Tanks and aircraft were not developed specifically to counter poison gas, and trenches did not reliably protect soldiers from it.
