Which explains the primary motivations behind the United States’ intervention in Cuba in 1898?

The United States had significant business interests in Cuba, including investments in sugar plantations, and wanted to protect them amid the Cuban revolt against Spanish rule. The Spanish-American War in 1898 also ended Spain’s colonial power in Cuba and elsewhere in the Americas. Thus, the best choice is “protect its business investments and remove Spain from power in the Americas.”
