D
It helped push the United States into entering the war on the Allied side.

Explanation

Germany’s unrestricted submarine warfare targeted ships traveling to Allied ports, including ships from neutral countries.

This policy was a major factor in the United States entering World War I on the Allied side, so the correct choice is D.
