Which of the following was part of Europe, Africa, and Mediterranean operations in World War I?

• A. Convoying ships across the Atlantic Ocean
• B. Landing troops in Africa
• C. Clearing minefields after the war
• D. Establishing a naval base in the Pacific

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is postwar cleanup and reopening of sea and land routes. After World War I, mines that had been laid to hinder ships and troops continued to pose a danger across Europe, Africa, and the Mediterranean. Clearing those minefields was essential to restore safe navigation, ports, and movement in all theaters, making it a common task across those regions.

That’s why this choice is the best fit: mine clearance after the fighting ended directly addresses safety and access across Europe, Africa, and the Mediterranean. The other options describe wartime actions that aren’t the broad postwar cleanup activity tied to all three theaters, and one option (a naval base in the Pacific) is outside this theater entirely.
