○ it was intended to provide military support for cuban rebels.
○ it was sent to bring diplomats to cuba to end the cuban revolution.
○ it was intended to protect american citizens who were in danger in the cuban revolution.
○ it was bringing medical supplies and food to both cuban and spanish troops.

Explanation:

The USS Maine was sent to Cuba in 1898 to protect American citizens who were in danger during the Cuban Revolution. The U.S. had economic interests in Cuba (such as sugar plantations) and there were concerns for the safety of its citizens amidst the unrest. It was not sent to provide military support for Cuban rebels (the U.S. had a more complex stance at first), not to bring diplomats to end the revolution (that was not its main purpose at the time of deployment), and not to bring medical supplies and food to both Cuban and Spanish troops (this was not the mission).

Answer:

It was intended to protect American citizens who were in danger in the Cuban Revolution.
