Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Food aid from the United States often serves dual purposes: it provides assistance to countries in need while also benefiting U.S. food producers by ensuring export markets for their products. This dynamic can lead to situations where the interests of U.S. producers are prioritized over the needs of the recipient countries, making the aid more beneficial to the U.S. agricultural sector than to the intended beneficiaries.
