Explanation:

The conferences and agreements in the 1920s (Washington Naval Conference, Four - Power Treaty, General Disarmament Conference, Kellogg - Briand Pact) were mainly aimed at preventing future wars. The Kellogg - Briand Pact renounced war as an instrument of national policy, and disarmament conferences and naval treaties were also efforts to reduce the likelihood of war. Option B is about disbanding the League of Nations, but the League was still active in the 1920s. Option C is about stabilizing the world economy, and these events were more about peace - keeping than economic stabilization. Option D is about punishing Central Powers, but World War I had already ended and the Treaty of Versailles (not these 1920s events) dealt with that. So the primary purpose was to prevent future wars.

Answer:

A. To prevent future wars
