Which statement describes how the outcome of the battle of midway impacted world war ii? (1 point)

the u. s. victory allowed the navy to advance across the pacific.
the destruction suffered by both sides prolonged the war in the pacific.
the focus on this battle drew the japanese away from protecting the philippines.
the japanese victory prevented the united states from advancing toward japan.

The U.S. victory allowed the navy to advance across the Pacific.

Why:
-Destruction suffered on the American side had a relatively light impact on the U.S. War Machine, not to mention the fact that American industry was increasing output to account for losses anyways, so it's not #2
-While this is plausible, the U.S. did not invade the Philippines until two years after the Battle of Midway, therefore #3 is irrelevant.
-The U.S. won a decisive victory at Midway, making #4 impossible.
