D: The machine gun

Explanation:

The machine helped to continue these stalemates as they fired at around 500 RPM. It was hard for infantry troops to mount an attack on a trench or to move back enemies when they were getting mowed down. Attacks by the French to move the German front lines back ended in long lists of casualties.
