The correct answer is C) Great Britain accepted growing US influence in Latin American countries.

The effect of US threats to intervene in a border dispute between

British Guiana and Venezuela was that Great Britain accepted growing US influence in Latin American countries.

We are referring to the Venezuela crisis of 1895. Great Britain and Venezuela had spent so many years disputing the territory of Essequibo in Guyana. Both countries claimed the territory was theirs, and the conflict arose with time until there was such a crisis the United States had to intervene with a formal letter of United States Secretary of State Richard Olney to British Prime Minister Lord Salisbury, demanding England submit the case to arbitration.
