Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The Schlieffen Plan called for a quick defeat of France by invading through neutral Belgium, which would allow the German army to bypass France's strong defenses on their eastern border. However, this violated Belgium's neutrality and provoked the United Kingdom to declare war on Germany.
