a. germany claimed the lusitania had weapons on board.

b. the united states claimed that no civilians were killed in the
attack.

c. the united states claimed the lusitania had weapons on board.

d. germany claimed that the united states sank the lusitania.

Explanation:

• For option B: The sinking of the Lusitania did kill civilians, so the US couldn't claim no civilians were killed.
• For option C: It was Germany, not the US, that claimed the Lusitania had weapons.
• For option D: Germany sank the Lusitania (via a U - boat), so it didn't claim the US sank it.
• For option A: Germany did claim the Lusitania was carrying weapons (which was part of their justification for the attack), so this statement is true.

Answer:

A. Germany claimed the Lusitania had weapons on board.
