Which American President had laid down “fourteen points” as the basis for peace after World War I?
       

Correct option is D

Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of the United States, laid down the "Fourteen Points" in 1918 as a framework for peace after World War I. The Fourteen Points outlined Wilson’s vision for a peaceful world order, emphasizing self-determination, free trade, disarmament, and the establishment of a League of Nations to resolve international disputes. These points served as a foundation for post-war negotiations, although not all were implemented in the Treaty of Versailles.
