Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The spread of the French Revolution and the subsequent wars between France and other European powers, notably Britain, led to a complex situation for neutral traders. The United States, seeking to maintain neutrality, was granted limited rights to trade with both warring sides, although this came with significant risks and challenges, such as impressment by the British Navy and seizure of goods by both parties.
