The right answer is: D. to protect the sovereignty of a foreign nation.

Explanation:

The purpose of the war was to force Iraq to leave Kuwait and restablish its sovereignty. Under that premise, the US G. H. Bush administration managed to form an international coalition and UN support to drive Iraqi troops out of its tiny southern neighbor.
