Answer:

C - It helped to rebuild and strengthen European economies

Step-by-step explanation:

President Harry Truman signed the Marshall Plan on April 3, 1948, granting $5 billion in aid to 16 European nations.

This money helped the European nations strengthen their economy. This in turn allowed more international business with the United States.

In just a short time, the United States made back a very large portion of the money invested.
