c. allied forces begin to collapse after several german victories on the western front.
d. allied forces launch attacks on the german line along the eastern front.

Explanation:

The timeline shows the tide turning against Germany in 1918. The Battle of Amiens (August 1918) was a decisive Allied victory that started the Hundred Days Offensive, leading to the collapse of German forces, which aligns with the August 1918 gap. Options B and C contradict the timeline's shift to Allied success, and option D is incorrect as the focus is on the Western Front in this sequence.

Answer:

A. German forces begin to collapse after the Allied victory in the Battle of Amiens.
