Answer:
The correct answer is: D: The citizens and government have a positive attitude toward the United States.
Explanation:
This can be explained through the concept of survival, and the fact that all beings, regardless of their species, react positively towards those who extend a helping hand and aid in survival. After an earthquake, when vulnerability is high, and most probably resources to resolve the issue are stretched to their max, seeing a helping hand, like that of a powerful nation like the United States, makes those vulnerable turn towards the aider and see them as friends. After that, when the main emergency is overcome, they may establish positive relations with the helper (the U.S) and in times of need, help will be reciprocated, including supporting U.S interests. This is a way in which alliances can be created.
