Answer 1

The primary reason the United States advocated the Open Door Policy was to:

A protect and broaden U.S. trade with China.

The Open Door Policy, initiated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, aimed to ensure equal trading rights for all nations in China and to prevent any single power from monopolizing trade with the country.
