In the Davis Cup 2005 finals, Croatia faced the Slovak Republic. Let`s break down each option for more understanding:

Option 1: United States of America - This option is incorrect. In the 2005 Davis Cup, the U.S didn`t compete against Croatia in the Finals.

Option 2: Slovak Republic - This is the correct answer. In November 2005, Croatia defeated the Slovak Republic to clinch the Davis Cup title.

Option 3: Argentina - Incorrect. Although Argentina is a strong tennis nation, they were not the ones who confronted Croatia in the Davis Cup 2005 finals.

Option 4: Spain - Also incorrect. Spain has had a good run in Davis Cup history, yet they were not Croatia`s opponents in the mentioned year`s finals.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2, the Slovak Republic.
