Correct answer choice is :


C) It was another reason for the United States to join the war on the side of the Allies


Explanation:


The Zimmermann Telegram was a confidential diplomatic note declared from the German Foreign Office in January 1917 that offered a military agreement among Germany and Mexico in the event that the United States started World War I against Germany. The telegram was intercepted and decoded by British intelligence. The disclosure of the contents infuriated Americans, particularly after German Foreign Secretary Arthur Zimmermann openly revealed the telegram was confirmed on March 3 and helped make support for the United States announcement of war on Germany in April.
