Answer:
The correct option is B: requiring turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets is protecting

Option B is the correct answer because "require" was used with a direct object and the singular verb "is" was also correctly used in the sentence and it agrees with the singular subject "compliance".
Option C is wrong because the word "protect" as used in the sentence is a plural verb and hence it does not comply with the singular subject "compliance"
Option D is wrong because the word "are" is a plural verb and hence it does not comply with the singular subject in the sentence, which is "compliance".
Option E is wrong because the usage of "to require" is unidiomatic

The correct option is D) the U.S. policy of offering aid to countries threatened by communism.
The Truman Doctrine was a foreign policy of the United States during the Presidency of Harry Truman in the late 1940s. Its main aim was to counter expansion of communism worldwide, especially in Europe and Asia, after World War II. This was done primarily through economic and military aid to countries at risk of falling under Soviet influence. The doctrine proved pivotal in the early years of the Cold War and set the stage for future U.S. foreign policy.
