Explanation:

Dollar Diplomacy was a foreign - policy approach by the United States that aimed to use economic power to further American interests. By promoting business and economic ties with other countries, it created interdependencies that could prevent costly wars. Buying countries is not a practical or accurate description of Dollar Diplomacy. The gold - standard is not the main mechanism of Dollar Diplomacy, and missionary activity is related to religious expansion, not Dollar Diplomacy.

Answer:

A. It spread American influence through business.
