The answer is:

B. Being able to trade with the united states is very important to most foreign governments.

Sanctions as a tool of foreign policy refers to the ability of a large nation to economically restrict the buy or sell of some products from smaller countries. Economies in smaller countries depend on what they can sell to the United States, and because of that it is very important for them to be able to trade with them, an economic sanction, like closing the market to them would have strong effects on this small countrys economy.
