The primary reason the United States advocated the Open Door Policy was to A) protect and broaden U.S. trade with China. The policy aimed to ensure that all nations would have equal opportunities to trade in China, thereby preventing any single nation from monopolizing trade in that market and allowing the U.S. to benefit economically.
