(mc)
which of the following factors caused business owners to support u.s. imperialism?
o a business owners that established operations in other nations were offered significant tax breaks.
o b business owners hoped to increase profits by flooding international markets with goods produced in the united states.
o c business owners wanted to bypass strict u.s. labor regulations by opening factories overseas.
o d business owners felt that favorable diplomatic policies with other nations would expand markets and access to raw materials.

Explanation:

Business owners supported U.S. imperialism mainly for economic reasons. Option a is incorrect as tax breaks were not a main factor. Option b is not the main driver as it's more about expanding markets and access to resources rather than just flooding markets. Option c is not the key reason. Option d is correct as favorable diplomatic policies (a form of imperialism - using political influence) would help expand markets (for selling goods) and access to raw materials (for production), which are key economic interests for business owners.

Answer:

d. Business owners felt that favorable diplomatic policies with other nations would expand markets and access to raw materials.
