Which best explains the connection between ethnic diversity in the United States and support for neutrality during World War I?

Many people in the United States had immigrated from European countries, including countries on opposing sides of World War I. Joining the war could therefore harm their countries of origin or put relatives and communities there at risk, encouraging support for neutrality. Choice D best captures this connection; ethnic diversity did not mean that most people were pacifists.
