Explanation
The United States was drawn into World War II following Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, which led to a formal declaration of war. The invasion of Poland by Germany in 1939 triggered the conflict in Europe but did not directly involve the US at that time. The D-Day landings in 1944 occurred after the US had already joined the war. Therefore, the correct answer is Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.
