The following action is an example of the United States using economic influence as a tool of foreign policy:

C. Refusing to trade with a country until it improves its human rights record.

The correct answer is C.

Trade sanctions are common tools in foreign policy. They are imposed by a country or group of countries that set a penalty on imported products from one or more other nations.

Sanctions aim to force the punished nations to change their behaviour or policies on a certain issue, by limiting their ability to trade with the nation that has imposed the sanction and, in turn, their economic growth opportunities. For example, the US imposes the sanction aiming to a country to respect human rights and to abolish child labor practices.
