Explanation:

The best conclusion that can be drawn from the graph above which shows the results of the warfare involving the German submarine in 1917, is A) “Germany was stepping up its efforts to stop goods from reaching the Allies.”

One of the tactics the Germans took in other to be at advantage against the opposition and the allies, was to ensure goods being shipped are prevented from reaching their destination by sinking them with the submarines. The deployment of submarines in the warfare led to more losses incurred in goods being shipped, as shown in the graph attached below.
