Explanation:

To determine the immediate cause of the U.S. entry into World War II, we analyze each option:

• The German air force bombing Great Britain: This was part of the European theater but not the trigger for U.S. entry.
• The German army moving into Belgium: This was an action in Europe, not directly leading to U.S. involvement.
• The Japanese army attacking China: This was an ongoing conflict in Asia but not the immediate cause for U.S. entry into WWII.
• The Japanese navy attacking Pearl Harbor: On December 7, 1941, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor led to the U.S. declaring war on Japan, and subsequently, Germany and Italy declared war on the U.S., bringing the U.S. fully into WWII.

Answer:

D. The Japanese navy attacking Pearl Harbor
