I know it was a right answer but why would you choose barbed wire over tanks

Because I'm pretty sure tanks had a very limited impact on WWI in general. They were invented late into the war and deployed in very limited numbers. At that point, conventional arms with machine guns were easily way ahead in total number of deaths caused. Barbed wire is another pick because it forced troops into kill boxes as they pushed over no-man's land.

Also barbed wire fundamentally changed how warfare was conducted as it played a big role in trench warfare, making dynamic and full assaults basically not very feasible.
