question 2 (1 point)
the transition during world war i from coal - powered ships to much larger vessels that burned oil led to
a the need for additional smaller ships to defend them
b decreased competition for raw materials
c an arms race
d versailles treaty restrictions limiting the size of naval vessels

Explanation:

During World War I, the shift to larger oil - powered ships led to an arms race as nations competed to build more powerful naval vessels. Smaller ships were not the main response to larger ships. The competition for raw materials (oil) increased, not decreased. The Versailles Treaty restrictions on naval vessel size came after the war as a post - war measure, not directly as a result of the transition during the war.

Answer:

C. an arms race
