President Roosevelt send troops to support Panamanian rebels in the fight against Colombia because he wanted to get the rights to build a canal in Panama at a lower price.

Option: C

Explanation:

Roosevelt was the 32nd president of United States. He was elected in the year of 1933. He sent troops to support Panamian rebels in the fight against Colombia so that he can get the rights to build a canal in Panama at a lower price.

If that canal built in Panama then the natives of America will be benefited from it. It will be utilized in different ways. Trade, business and commerce of America with other states of America (intra state) and other countries (inter country) will flourished in a better way.
