Explanation:

During World War II, the Soviet Union was bearing the brunt of German military might on the Eastern Front. Opening a second - front in France by the US and Britain would force Germany to divide its army, reducing the pressure on the Soviet Union. The French Resistance retaking Paris was a secondary effect. Germany was not a major force in the Pacific front. Stalin did not want the US and Britain to take control of Western Europe, and he was focused on relieving Soviet pressure.

Answer:

D. to open a second front and force Germany to split its army
