b. It emphasized building economic ties rather than using military force.

Taft's "Dollar Diplomacy" sought to use U.S. investment and loans to extend influence and stabilize countries, while Roosevelt's "Big Stick" policy relied more on the threat or use of military power (e.g., Roosevelt Corollary, Panama Canal actions).
