Correct answer choice is :


C) Build a strong military to prevent attacks from other countries.

Step-by-step explanation:

The central policy was containment of the communist role in the world. Russia was seen as attempting to increase communist doctrine, and this became the central concern for the US and set policy for the next 60 years. They did this by establishing European economies with extensive credits among other things.
