Answer:

The answer is D, because the priority was to defeat Hitler. And even with the attack of Pearl Harbor, this priority didn't change.

Explanation:

The attack of Pearl Harbor led the Americans to the war. They fought on two fronts (Europe, and the Pacific). But, it was clear to Roosevelt that:

Hitler was a bad thing and should be defeated. So, the Americans would help to win the war. They will help.
The war against the Japanese was personal. Of course, defeating the Japanese would lead to a victory one way or another (don't forget that Japan was a German ally), but for the Americans, it was personal.
