Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The Good Neighbor Policy, initiated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, aimed at improving relations with Latin American countries. While it sought to move away from direct military intervention, in practice, the U.S. often ended up supporting dictatorial regimes in the region as long as they were aligned with American economic and strategic interests.
