b. Franklin D. Roosevelt
c. George H. W. Bush
d. Theodore Roosevelt
The answer is D, Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt!
Teddy borrowed the phrase from an African proverb, "Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far."

The press used the phrase to describe Roosevelt's Latin America policy and his domestic policy of regulating monopolies.
