Answer 1

A) to sell surplus goods and procure raw materials 
- this is definitely a good reason to look beyond boundaries
B) to provide jobs for its surplus of industrial workers 
- well, this did not happen too oftern, but it is also a valid reason

C) to spread Christianity to those it considered inferior 
- not an official policy, but i can imagine this

D) to civilize the “inferior races” in Asia and Africa 
- same as C. 
E) to establish military alliances with other nations
- I think that this is the correct answer. In the 19th Century, the US had a poplicy of non-alignment and non-interventionism, so it avoided military alliances.
