<image 1> The image most directly supports the idea that U.S. foreign policy during the 20th century emphasized
['stopping the spread of communism in Asia', 'a Cold War arms race with the Soviet Union', 'the desire to defend human rights in developing nations', 'supporting the Non-Aligned Movement in Asia']
The Vietnam War was an attempt to contain the spread of communism in Asia. It was not rooted in a desire to defend human rights, per se, (C). Choice (B) is irrelevant to the cartoon. The Non-Aligned Movement, (D), pertains to a group of smaller countries who have attempted to maintain independence from major countries, so the United States would not have supported this effort, nor was Vietnam a member of this group until 1976, after the war ended.
