Oh, it was definitely the Cuba Libre movement! You know how those rebellious Cubans just couldn't resist the temptation of a good drink. They were probably too busy trying to make the perfect rum and coke to even notice a war starting. Cheers to that, my friend!

The correct answer is A. The Cuba Libre movement. The Cuba Libre movement, also known as the Cuban War of Independence, was a revolutionary uprising against Spanish colonial rule in Cuba. It was an important catalyst that sparked the Spanish-American War.

To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate options B, C, and D as they are not directly linked to the beginning of the Spanish-American War. Then, you can focus on option A and determine if it aligns with the historical context. By understanding that the Spanish-American War was primarily fought over Spanish control in Cuba, the mention of the Cuba Libre movement makes the most sense as the event that sparked the conflict.
