Final Answer : A, Explanation :  The cash and carry plan was part of the Neutrality Acts passed by the United States in the 1930s. It was modified in 1939 to allow Great Britain (and other Allies) to purchase military arms from the U.S. on a cash-and-carry basis, meaning they had to pay in cash and transport the goods themselves, which was designed to help them in the early stages of World War II while still keeping the U.S. out of direct involvement in the conflict.
