Brief Explanations

Pancho Villa attacked Columbus, New Mexico because he felt that Woodrow Wilson had betrayed him by recognizing Carranza's rebel government. Wilson's recognition of Carranza (who was Villa's rival) was a significant factor. Villa saw this as a betrayal. The other options are incorrect. There's no indication he wanted to unite revolutionary factions to go to war with the US. Wilson did not support Huerta's government (Huerta was a dictator ousted in part due to US pressure). And the attack on Columbus happened before Pershing's expedition (Pershing was sent after the attack to capture Villa).

Answer:

He felt that Woodrow Wilson had betrayed him by recognizing Carranza's rebel government.
