Answer 1

Answer:

C. French and British forces launched an unexpected counterattack.

Explanation:

According to historical scholars and accounts, some certain reasons are the development that accounted for the failure of the Schlieffen Plan, among which is the unrealistic strategy mapped out for the execution of the plan.

Also during the battle, the high resistance of the Belgium forces played a significant role in disrupting the plan.

Another reason is the "French and British forces launched an unexpected counterattack." This occurred at Marne around September 6 to 10, in 1914.
