Answer: (a) they did not want to let United Kingdom and France to have an upper hand.

The ANZUS treaty (1951) was a security pact in the Pacific region during the Cold War. The United States wanted to lead the defence of the Pacific with Australia and New Zealand, and did not want the old colonial powers, the United Kingdom and France, to have an upper hand there, so they were kept out of it.
