The correct answer is D. Neutrality

Explanation:

In politics, neutrality refers to the principle of nation or state to avoid getting involved in a war or conflict between different countries or to avoid taking sides into political issues involving two or more countries. In the excerpt presented, which was a letter published in 1796, Washington refers to the importance of neutrality, as during this time the U.S. had alliances with France and Britain. About this, Washington states the importance "to have with them as little political connection as possible" and also claims "it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves by artificial ties" that shows Washington desire to remain neutral to the conflicts that occurred between other countries. Thus, the quotation represents US neutrality foreign policy.
