C. The Allies invaded Normandy.
D. U.S. allies were being attacked.
The correct answer is A. The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.
To arrive at this answer, you can analyze the events leading up to the United States' involvement in World War II. It is well known that the United States initially maintained a position of neutrality during the early years of the war, which began in 1939. However, everything changed on December 7, 1941, when Japan launched a surprise attack on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.
The attack on Pearl Harbor caused extensive damage and resulted in the loss of many American lives. As a result, the United States officially entered World War II, declaring war on Japan the following day, December 8, 1941. This event was the main catalyst for U.S. involvement in the war, making option A, "The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor," the correct answer.
