Answer:

The right answer is B.

Explanation:

General John J. Pershing wanted to form an independent US army before committing them to battle. He did so despite strong calls from other Allied commanders and pressure from Western politicians. He advocated a docrine of "open warfare"  to break the stalemate in the western front, but it proved difficult to apply; Pershing underestimated the power and the tactical role of the machine gun.
