which of the following statements is true about germanys use of u - boats?
a. an underwater blockade was forbidden by the german government.
b. an underwater blockade was legal under international law.
c. u - boat warfare was the german response to the british blockade.
d. u - boat warfare was an attempt to get the united states to enter the war.

Explanation:

During World War I, the British naval blockade of Germany severely affected Germany's economy and access to resources. Germany responded with unrestricted U - boat warfare to try to break the British blockade and disrupt Allied supply lines. An underwater blockade was not forbidden by the German government, and unrestricted U - boat attacks violated international law. U - boat warfare was not an attempt to get the US into the war (initially), but rather a response to the British blockade.

Answer:

C. U - boat warfare was the German response to the British blockade.
