The correct statement regarding how "big stick" diplomacy led to dollar diplomacy is:
President Taft was opposed to the use of military and opted to utilize financial and economic policy in response to President Roosevelt’s “big stick” diplomacy.
This reflects how President Taft shifted U.S. foreign policy from Roosevelt's more militaristic approach (big stick diplomacy) to a focus on economic influence and investment (dollar diplomacy) in Latin America and other regions, emphasizing the use of financial power to achieve foreign policy objectives rather than military intervention.
