b. germany tried to sue for peace a week after d - day, fearing that they were losing the war.
c. us troops and supplies moved into europe and pushed toward germany.
d. fdr promised stalin that he would receive the marshall islands if the allies won the war.

Explanation:

• Option A: The invasion of North Africa (Operation Torch) and subduing Italy happened before D - Day (Normandy Invasion, June 6, 1944), so A is incorrect.
• Option B: Germany did not try to sue for peace a week after D - Day. The war continued for nearly a year after D - Day, so B is incorrect.
• Option C: D - Day was the Allied invasion of Normandy. After the successful landing, US troops and supplies moved into Europe from the newly established beachhead and began pushing toward Germany, which is an immediate consequence of D - Day for the US.
• Option D: The Marshall Islands are in the Pacific theater, and D - Day was in the European theater. There is no such promise related to D - Day, so D is incorrect.

Answer:

C. US troops and supplies moved into Europe and pushed toward Germany.
