Option A, It caused Latin American countries to increasingly resent U.S. interference in their affairs, is the right answer.

Explanation:

At the time, when William Howard Taft the president of the United States in the year 1909 he adopted the foreign policy of the former president, Roosevelt. The very adopted policy came to be known as the “Dollar Diplomacy”.

Taft declared his choice to “substitute dollars for bullets” in an attempt to practice foreign policy to acquire businesses and opportunities for the businessmen of America. Not unlike Roosevelt’s intimidation of oppression, Taft employed the intimidation of American economic clout to compel nations into contracts to serve the United States.

However, an unintended consequence of the policy of “Dollar Diplomacy" concerning Latin America can be seen in the very fact that it caused Latin American countries to frequently begrudge U.S. intervention in their activities.

athenian democracy developed around the fifth century bc in the greek city-state (known as a polis) of athens, comprising the city of athens and the surrounding territory of attica, and is often described as the first known democracy in the world. other greek cities set up democracies, most following the athenian model, but none are as well documented as athens'.

it was a political system of direct democracy, in which participating citizens voted directly on legislation and executive bills. participation was not open to all residents: to vote one had to be an adult, male citizen, i.e., not a foreign resident, a submissive or a woman, and the number of these was "probably no more than 30 percent of the total adult population."[1]

the longest-lasting democratic leader was pericles. after his death, athenian democracy was twice briefly interrupted by oligarchic revolutions towards the end of the peloponnesian war. it was modified somewhat after it was restored under eucleides; the most detailed accounts of the system are of this fourth-century modification rather than the periclean system. democracy was suppressed by the macedonians in 322 bc. the athenian institutions were later revived, but how close they were to a real democracy is debatable. solon (594 bc), cleisthenes (508/7 bc), and ephialtes (462 bc) contributed to the development of athenian democracy. cleisthenes broke up the power of the nobility by organizing citizens into ten groups based on where they lived rather than on their wealth.
