Answer:

C. The Marshall Plan was economic, while NATO was militarily oriented.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Marshall Plan is also referred to as European Recovery Program and it was an assistance program of the United States of America to Western Europe. It was enacted by the 80th US Congress and signed into law on the 3rd of April, 1948 by President Harry S. Truman.

The US-sponspored program was revealed by the U.S Secretary of State, George C. Marshall and it was focused on promoting general welfare, global peace, and national interest through strong economic and financial interventions.

The formation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in 1949 was influenced and based on the Marshall Plan. The main purpose of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was to create a military alliance between different European Nations and North America and resist threats from the Soviet Union military.

The purposes of the Marshall Plan and NATO differ in that, the Marshall Plan was economic, while NATO was militarily oriented.
