how did trench warfare affect the war?

a. major battles caused only a few casualties.

b. major battles gained a lot of ground.

c. major battles gained little or no ground.

d. flooding in trenches caused more deaths than battles did.

Explanation:

In trench warfare (especially in WWI), the extensive trench systems made it extremely difficult for either side to advance significantly. Attacks often resulted in heavy casualties with minimal territorial gains. Option A is wrong as trench battles had massive casualties. Option B is incorrect because little ground was gained. Option D is inaccurate as battle - related combat (e.g., gunfire, artillery) caused more deaths than trench flooding.

Answer:

C. Major battles gained little or no ground.
