Explanation:

First Question (Which of the following was not a cause of World War I?)

The main causes of World War I are often summarized as militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism (the "MAIN" causes). Diplomacy is the practice of conducting negotiations between nations, which is used to prevent conflicts rather than cause them. Militarism (build - up of military), alliances (entangling agreements), and imperialism (competition for colonies) were all contributing factors to the tensions that led to WWI.

Before World War I, Germany was engaged in a significant naval arms race with the United Kingdom. The UK had a long - standing dominant navy, and Germany, under Kaiser Wilhelm II, sought to build up its naval forces to challenge British naval supremacy. France was more focused on land forces and its rivalry with Germany on the continent, the US was not a major naval competitor in Europe at this time, and Russia's main focus was on its army and land - based power dynamics.

Answer:

C. Diplomacy
