The correct answer is D. Bringing the tradition of Carnival to Brazil.

Explanation

The Brazilian carnival is a typical Brazilian holiday that is traditionally celebrated between February and March. In this carnival, all kinds of traditions and customs of the Brazilian culture are shown through dancing and singing. Additionally, in cities like Sao Pablo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, Bahia, among others, people made decorated caravans of floats inspired on Afro-Brazilian culture.

This tradition originates in the colony when the Spanish and Portuguese colonizers implemented it religious carnivals in which people threw water to purify their body; however, over time the carnival has evolved to nowadays Brazilian carnival and culture. According to the above, it can be said that the United States had no impact on the emergence of the Carnival of Brazil, and therefore "bringing the tradition of Carnival to Brazil" is not an example of the U.S. involvement in Latin America. So, the correct answer is D. Bringing the tradition of Carnival to Brazil.
