Answer:

The answer is:

D. US troops, following orders from President Polk, claimed an area of disputed land for the United States which caused an attack by Mexico in retaliation​

Explanation:

The major cause of the war was actually  the annexation of Texas by the US in 1845. Among tensions, skirmishes and a failed diplomatic mission, president Polk ordered American troops commanded by Gen. Zachary Taylor to occupy the disputed zone between Río Nueces and Río Grande (Río Bravo for Mexicans) in January 1846. Taylor´s men were attacked by Mexican troops in April killing or injuring 16 of them. Polk claimed Mexican soldiers had attacked US troops and "shed American blood upon American soil." He requested a declaration of war. Congress overwhelmingly voted to declare war on Mexico on May 13, 1846.

Annette [7]
The Black Death is considered as the deadliest pandemic in history. There were four main forms of this plague namely: bubonic, pneumonic, septicemic and enteric plague. It wiped out around 200 million people from  Europe and Asia. It was caused by yersinia pestits, a type of bacteria transmitted through flea bites or inhalation. One of the main reasons why the plague spread quickly was the terrible health condition of the city dwellers due to poverty and malnutrition. The great famine of 1315 struck many parts of Europe and it lasted for almost seven years. The famine ultimately weakened the immune system of the dwellers in the cities.
