Question

during the early years of world war i, which of the following did the germans use to great advantage?

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Field telephone: Used by many armies, not unique to Germans or a great advantage source.
• Machine gun: While important, Germans didn't have a unique advantage here compared to others.
• Submarine (U - boats): Germany's U - boat fleet was highly effective in the early WWI, disrupting Allied supply lines and naval operations, giving them a significant advantage.
• Tank: Tanks were first used by the British in WWI, so Germans didn't use tanks to advantage early on.

Answer:

C. the submarine
