Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Britain’s policy of appeasement (like allowing Hitler’s expansion) was a contributing factor but not the direct cause of WWII’s outbreak.
• Option B: Japan’s bombing of Pearl Harbor occurred in 1941, which was after WWII had already started (outbreak in 1939), so it’s not the direct cause of the outbreak.
• Option C: Hitler’s military aggression in Poland (Germany’s invasion of Poland in September 1939) led Britain and France to declare war on Germany, marking the direct outbreak of WWII.
• Option D: There was no military conflict between Poland, Britain, and France that directly led to WWII; rather, Britain and France declared war on Germany after Germany invaded Poland.

Answer:

C. Hitler's military aggression in Poland
