The primary cause of shell shock in World War I was D) the stress of war. Soldiers faced extreme psychological pressure due to the horrors of trench warfare, constant bombardment, and the loss of comrades, leading to mental health issues. While physical injuries, such as shrapnel wounds, could contribute to trauma, it was the overwhelming psychological strain that primarily resulted in shell shock.
