Question

the stalemate of the western front during world war i was largely a result of
a. the increased use of modern military tactics such as waging total war
b. the use of new technologies due to increasing industrialization.
c. the years long british naval blockade of continental europe.
d. the reluctance of the united states to enter into fighting the war.

Explanation:

The stalemate on the Western Front in WWI was mainly due to new technologies from industrialization. These new weapons like machine - guns, barbed wire, and improved artillery made it difficult for either side to advance, creating trench warfare and a stalemate. Total war tactics were not the main cause of the stalemate. The British naval blockade affected the Central Powers' access to resources but not the stalemate on the Western Front directly. The U.S. not entering the war was not the main reason for the stalemate on the Western Front.

Answer:

C. the use of new technologies due to increasing industrialization.
