To determine the main foreign policy position opposing the basic American policy of defending its foreign interests related to trade and security, we need to analyze the options provided and understand their definitions.
A. Imperialism refers to a policy of extending a country's power and influence through colonization, diplomacy, or military force. While imperialism can be seen as a potential result of defending foreign interests, it is not necessarily opposing this American policy.
B. Militarism refers to the belief or desire of a government or people that a country should maintain a strong military capability and be prepared to use it aggressively to defend or promote national interests. Militarism, in itself, does not oppose the basic American policy.
C. Isolationism is a foreign policy approach wherein a country avoids participation in international affairs and seeks to focus primarily on its internal affairs. Isolationism directly opposes the American policy of defending foreign interests related to trade and security. It is the correct answer as it counters the main American foreign policy position.
D. Federalism is a system of government in which power is divided between a central authority and constituent political units. While the concept of federalism may have an impact on American foreign policy, it does not directly oppose the policy mentioned in the question.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. isolationism.
