Answer:
D. The United States lost popularity in the region by helping to overthrow elected leaders
Explanation:
The United States were constantly involved in Central and South America's politics and internal affairs after the countries of these regions gained independence. During the Cold War though, the people of these two regions got fed up with the interference of the United States. The reason for this was that the United States were constantly financing dictators, helping them overthrow elected leaders, and were creating constant chaos. The people were not willing to put up with this anymore, and as their revolt was growing, the United States were pushed out of big portions of these regions, with their popularity shrinking.
