d. germans werent religious.

Explanation:

To determine what caused U.S. opinion to be against Germany, we analyze each option:

• Option A: There's no major historical event of Germany shooting down planes carrying Americans that significantly turned U.S. opinion against Germany.
• Option B: Language differences (Germans not speaking English) do not cause a nation's opinion to turn against another country.
• Option C: During World War I, Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare led to the sinking of ships (like the Lusitania) carrying Americans, which outraged U.S. public opinion and was a key factor in turning U.S. sentiment against Germany.
• Option D: Religious beliefs of Germans are not a reason for U.S. opinion to be against Germany.

Answer:

C. Germany sank ships carrying Americans.
