Answer:

Option C, The Marshall Plan allowed the United States to compete for power with the USSR without using force.

Step-by-step explanation:

Marshal plan marked the start of cold war between the United States and its European allies and the Soviet Union.

The US has taken control of much of central and eastern Europe without using army forces or weapons. Instead they stablished its satellite republics as communist nations. They gave subsidized private voluntary relief packages and funds to build new wharf in North Borneo to aid the British colony.

Hence, option C is correct
