B. He refused to take the US fleet into battle immediately after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.

The correct answer is B, as Admiral Chester Nimitz displeased the US Congress during World War II as he refused to take the US fleet into battle immediately after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.

Ten days after the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, he was selected as commander-in-chief of the US Pacific fleet, with his rank of Admiral effective as of December 31. He was criticized by Congress for not immediately attacking Japan, but instead preferring to organize the troops for later battles, which in the end turned out to be a success. Although he had to assume the position in the most critical period of the War of the Pacific, Admiral Nimitz managed to organize successfully his forces to stop the Japanese attack, in spite of to have been defeated and to have suffered numerous losses of ships and airplanes.
