C.) It was the Unions strategy to surround and squeeze the confederacy.

Explanation:

The Anaconda Plan was the name given to a military project of the United States Civil War, created by Union General Winfield Scott, and came into force in 1862. The Plan instituted a Confederation siege by the Union, through a naval blockade, control of the Mississippi River and the Tennessee River, encircling and totally dividing the Confederation. The naval blockade on this one - whose objective was to suppress the exportation of cotton, tobacco and food to European countries, and the import of armaments - implied a constant surveillance of 4,800 kilometers of southern littoral, a task considered impossible from the beginning. Scott popularized the term "Anaconda Plan", because like the South American anaconda, which kills its victims by curling around them until they suffocate them and break their bones, the North proposed to destroy and "suffocate" the economy of the South "imprisoning" their territories through a blockade.
