To explain how you can arrive at the answer, we can use the process of elimination. Start by analyzing the question and the given options:
In 1916, Woodrow Wilson ordered General John J. Pershing to lead U.S. troops into Mexico to capture...
A. Francisco Madero - Francisco Madero was a Mexican politician who served as President of Mexico, but Wilson did not order troops to capture him. So, we can eliminate this option.
B. Pancho Villa - Pancho Villa was a Mexican revolutionary and guerrilla leader who led a raid on Columbus, New Mexico in 1916. This raid prompted Wilson to order General Pershing to lead troops into Mexico to pursue Villa and bring him to justice.
C. Porfirio Diaz - Porfirio Diaz was a former president of Mexico who ruled for several decades but was not targeted by Wilson for capture. Thus, we can eliminate this option as well.
D. Victoriana Huerta - Victoriano Huerta was a Mexican military officer who served as the President of Mexico from 1913 to 1914. However, Wilson did not order troops to capture him, so we can eliminate this option too.
After going through the options, it's clear that the correct answer is B. Pancho Villa.
