B. The peace treaty that ended World War l created conditions that led directly to World War ll.

Explanation:

This is the statement that best presents a counterclaim to the claim made in this passage. In this passage, the claim that we find is that WWI and WWII had very little to do with each other. Therefore, the counterclaim would need to state the opposite: that the two wars were related. This is what option B states. Option B tells us that the Treaty of Versailles, which was signed after WWI, created the conditions, especially German dissatisfaction, that led to WWII.
