The correct answer is B) The US received land for military bases in exchange for aid.

Statement A is incorrect because the Marshall Plan is not implemented until after World War II. The Lend-Lease Act happens before World War II.

Statement C is incorrect because the US did not lease land. Rather, they leased military weapons/technology to help the Allied Powers during World War II.

Statement D is incorrect because the Agency for International Development wasn't founded until 1961 under President Kennedy. This is roughly 2 decades after the Lend-Lease Act was implemented.
