Theodore Roosevelt think that the threat of force was sufficient to achieve to achieve the foreign policy goals because D) Roosevelt felt that engaging in peaceful negotiation was more effective than using force.

Explanation:

Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th President of the U. S. Although he was recognized for his foreign policy, he was also a peacemaker. Roosevelt influenced U. S. foreign policy even before being president as Assistant Secretary under President William McKinley.

One example of his peaceful way to solve problems between countries/nations is the Russo-Japanese War. The peaceful negotiations of Roosevelt approached both nations.

The President wanted for a world in which countries turn into discussions or treaties instead of war to settle international/national disputes.
