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).
