Question

"To our sister republics south of our border, we offer a special pledge: to convert our good words into good deeds, in a new alliance for progress; to assist free men and free governments in casting off the chains of poverty. But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers. Let all our neighbors know that we shall join with them to oppose aggression or subversion anywhere in the Americas. And let every other power know that this Hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house."

*But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers.*

A. He is letting enemies know that they will not be allowed to have an influence in the Americas. His tone is cautionary---the narrator is basically saying that hostile powers (his enemies) will not prey on their revolution for hope, meaning, they will not interfere in this revolution, therefore, they will not be, by any means, influencing them.

It can't be the other ones because they just don't make sense.
