Explanation:

To determine how U.S. diplomacy is carried out, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Social media is not the primary or formal method of U.S. diplomacy.
• Option B: The President, Secretary of State, and diplomats traveling to other nations to build alliances, resolve conflicts, promote democracy, and advocate for human rights aligns with standard diplomatic practices (e.g., bilateral meetings, international negotiations).
• Option C: Tea parties hosted by the First Lady to influence leaders' spouses is not a recognized or primary diplomatic approach.
• Option D: The U.S. does engage in diplomacy (e.g., peace negotiations, treaty signings), so this is incorrect.

Answer:

B. The President, Secretary of State, and other diplomats of the United States travel to other nations to create alliances, work through conflicts, promote democracy, and advocate for human rights.
