Explanation:

Progressives focused on domestic social reforms (like labor rights, anti - corruption). Joining WWI would divert resources/attention from these US - based social improvement efforts. The second option is less central to Progressive opposition (their main concern was domestic progress, not just judging sides). The third option is incorrect as Wilson's stance on war evolved, and Progressives didn't just agree blindly. So the first option is correct.

Answer:

A. They thought it would get in the way of the social improvements in the US
