ground

germany

c. because the british naval forces created a strong barrier in the
ocean

d. because the enemy could not mount a successful air attack

Explanation:

Churchill believed that the enemy could not mount a successful air attack. This was a key factor in his assessment that an invasion of British soil was unlikely in the near future. The Battle of Britain was a crucial air - to - air combat phase. If the enemy could not gain air superiority (successful air attack), an invasion (which would require air support for troops, supplies, etc.) would be very difficult.

Answer:

D. Because the enemy could not mount a successful air attack
