Answer:

The correct answer is option C. "He hoped to avoid war but expected that the u.s. would be drawn in".

Explanation:

During the United States presidential election of 1916, Woodrow Wilson defeated Charles Evans and became president on November 7. During his campaign, Wilson was asked about what would be his position about World War I (1914-1918). President Woodrow Wilson was an advocate for democracy and world peace, therefore he hoped to avoid the war, however he expected that U.S. would be drawn in. Eventually, this expectation became reality when Congress called him to declare war on Germany in 1917.
