One foreign policy goal of President Theodore Roosevelt was to restrict European intervention in the Western Hemisphere. The correct option among all the options that are provided in the question is option "2". Roosevelt was always very conservative about any kind of actions from European countris on the financially weaker Latin American countries. When Venezuela could not repay the loans taken from European countries, then Britain and France had sent their ships to threaten military action against the country. Roosevelt did not take this action from those countries lightly and forced them to come to an arbitration rather than any kind of military action.
