<span>The arrival of Perry was both a blessing and a curse. Japan had been isolationist for a lengthy period of time and marooned sailors who washed up on the shores of Japan were often mistreated and seen as 'invaders'.

Option B is the right answer that the Navajo sent messages to prove that the code worked.
Navajo code talkers in the 20th century were the people who used the coded language as the method of their communication during wartime. Using their Native language, the Navajo Code Talkers developed a confidential military code which gave assistance to the United States to achieve success in the Pacific during World War II.
Navajo code talkers tested their code by sending messages so as to ensure that the code can be decoded by the receiver or not.

No one expected that, as it was a risky move to cross a frozen river in winter, with a snow storm whipping the soldiers (in fact, 2 soldiers died of exposure during the march).

The Battle of Trenton was a key moment of the American War of Independence, as it showed to the American population that the victory was possible.
