D. stop the spread of communism in the region.

During the Cold War, the United States was actively involved in Latin America as part of its broader containment policy against the spread of communism. The U.S. sought to prevent the influence and expansion of communist ideologies in various parts of the world, including Latin America. This involvement manifested through diplomatic, economic, and sometimes military means to support governments perceived as anti-communist and to counter the influence of socialist or communist movements in the region.
