Explanation:

The Schlieffen Plan was Germany's strategy for a two - front war. It aimed to quickly defeat France and then turn to Russia. The plan failed mainly because of the strong counterattack from the French and British forces (the Battle of the Marne). Option B is incorrect as the Germans were well - organized. Option C is wrong as the Germans had a good mobilization system. Option D is incorrect because the Schlieffen Plan was mainly about land warfare, and naval forces were not the main factor in its failure.
