The correct answer is B) economic.
The motives that often seemed to overshadow the United States emphasis on democracy are economic.
The United States is a country that proudly speaks of how democracy has benefited the citizens of the US and promotes democracy and freedom around the world. But many times that speech seems to be overshadowed by the economic emphasis that has demonstrated in many regions of the world such as the case of the Middle East with Israel or the Persian Gulf. That is why some countries think that the prominent goal if the United States is economic and it defends its economic interests over the discourse of democracy and freedom.
