Explanation:

The diagram lists economic/strategic reasons for U.S. annexation of Hawaii. Option A is a strategic benefit of Hawaii (Pearl Harbor as a naval base), matching the diagram's purpose. Option B is incorrect because Spain was not targeting Hawaii. Option C is false as the U.S. overthrew Hawaii's government, not the other way around. Option D is unrelated, as the Roosevelt Corollary focused on Latin America, not Hawaii.

Answer:

A. Served as a strategic base for the U.S. Navy
