Solution
Answer
The answer is (A) Lusitania
Explanation
Option 1: Lusitania
The Lusitania was a British luxury cruise liner that was sunk by a German U-boat on May 7, 1915. The attack resulted in the deaths of 1,198 passengers and crew, including 128 Americans. This event significantly influenced public opinion in the United States and made World War I more personal for many Americans, contributing to the eventual U.S. entry into the war.
Option 2: Louisiana
The Louisiana was not a ship involved in this context. It does not relate to the events of 1915 involving a British cruise liner and a German U-boat.
Option 3: Titanic
The Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in 1912 after hitting an iceberg. While it was a significant maritime disaster, it was not related to World War I or the sinking by a German U-boat.
Option 4: Louisville IV
There is no historical record of a ship named Louisville IV being involved in the events described in the question.
