Answer:
diplomacy and negotiation.
Explanation:
As with most multiple choice social studies questions, this can be ruled out by process of elimination.
- A preventative attack (or a preemptive strike) is an attack made against another force made out of the fear that they will attack or act militarily first; this is not what President Trump is doing in this scenario, so we can mark that out.
- Imposing sanctions can mean placing embargoes or other financial restrictions on a country in an effort to halt their progress in some way. Once again, President Trump is not doing this by offering to meet peacefully, so we can mark that out as well.
- Acting tough is the answer placed to "throw you off"; it should be marked out first.
- Finally, diplomacy and negotiation are consistent with what President Trump would like to do by meeting with North Korea. The issue lies with Korea's nuclear testing and how the United States would like to limit that via negotiation and diplomacy, so this answer fits best.
