Question 25 • World History-2109310

Which statement best describes Germany’s submarine campaign during World War I?

Answer
A
Germany made no use of submarines.
B
German submarines prevented all transatlantic shipping.
C
Germany used submarines in land and sea attacks.
D
German submarines made unrestricted attacks on ships.

Explanation

Germany used U-boats to attack ships at sea during World War I, including merchant vessels. At times, it pursued unrestricted submarine warfare, meaning submarines attacked ships without warning in designated waters. Germany did not stop all transatlantic shipping, and submarines were not used for land attacks, so the best choice is “German submarines made unrestricted attacks on ships.”
