The correct answer is C. The goal of the United States in issuing the Open Door Policy was to end spheres of influence over control of foreign trade in China.

Explanation:

The Open Door Policy was a concept in international relations developed by the United States, in which all states should have the same conditions and rights for trade with China. As a theory, the idea came after the First Opium War (1839-1845).

The policy was accepted by Britain, France, Germany and Japan through US Secretary of State John Hay's initiative in 1898, which also supported China's territorial and administrative integrity.

This policy would grant the various international powers equal access to China, without any of them being in total control of the country. On paper, the policy aimed to safeguard Chinese sovereignty and the territorial integrity of the partition. In fact, it was used primarily to mediate conflicting interests of the colonial powers, without the very significant input of the Chinese, thus creating persistent resentment being viewed as a symbol of national humiliation by many Chinese historians.
