Answer :

The technology General Patton used when the USA entered WWI was the tank, a new type of military technology introduced by the British which helped break the stalemate of trench warfare. Therefore is the correct option is A.

General Patton, who later became famous during World War II, was not associated with the deployment of any specific technology when the USA entered World War I because he was not yet a prominent military figure. However, when the USA entered WWI, one of the new types of military technology that was introduced by the British and used by the Allies was the tank. This revolutionary armored vehicle was invented as a caterpillar tractor in America and later adapted by the British. There were different types of tanks developed, including the heavier 'male' tanks with large guns and the 'female' tanks with machine guns. The faster 'whippet' tanks were also introduced, which could average speeds of up to eighteen miles per hour. Tanks were integral to breaking the stalemate of trench warfare and contributed to the eventual Allied victory. Therefore is the correct option is A.
