d.

select the best answer from the choices provided
a

D

Explanation:

I don't know the best way to explain it but I now it's none of the other choices. I think C is a water front. B I think is literally just a glacier. And A obviously isn't the answer. I know what an archipelago is but I don't know how to explain it

d

because i have gotten it correct on a test. hope it helps

the fact that could also be added to column b is that during world war ii, specifically between the years 1941 and 1945, japan expanded its territory towards the indonesian territory in what was known later as part of the "pacific war". in that time, japan could conquer the philipines, singapore,   borneo, central java, malang, cebu, sumatra and various other islands of the area, therefore expanding its territory for a brief period of time.

no options provided, here,but the answer to this question is often: a historian cites a japanese newspaper article published a year after the end of world war ii in order to draw conclusions about the effect of the war on the japanese economy.

clearly from the answer, the historian alludes to historical sources,and records to aid in analyzing and drawing conclusion on the effect of the war on the economy of japan.
