Answer :
B. The overall principle that guided Wilson's Fourteen Points was the idea that war was bad and should be avoided. The main ways to avoid it, in Wilson's opinion, were:

Principle of self-determination. Ethnic groups should rule themselves, not be ruled by other ethnic groups.
Freedom of the seas. Countries should be able to trade freely with one another, even in time of war.
Open diplomacy. No secret treaties.
Collective security -- through the League of Nations. If one country attacks another, all countries should gang up on the attacking country.
This last is why the US didn't ratify. We didn't want to be dragged into war if, say, Italy attacked Austria (get in wars we don't care about).
