First off, the controversy of this had led to an imbalance in congress among the number of free states and slave states. So this rules out our first option. Due to it not being all of the above, that's our fourth answer ruled out as well. The Webster speech did not happen for 10 more years so it is very unlikely that this is what led to that speech. Even without the process of elimination, it would be B because the Missouri Compromise admitted Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state in order to preserve the balance of power in congress. Also, Henry Clay (the Great Compromiser) drafted this.
The Japanese justified their imperialism in multiple different ways, depending on what territory is in question.
For China, there was a fake attack on Japanese property, performed by the Japanese themselves, so they invaded Manchuria with the justification that their citizens were in danger.
Korea and Taiwan were justified in the sense that some countries had colonies which they used for resources and as market for their products, so the Japanese justified it in the manner that they also deserve to have such territories.
For some territories they conquered there was no real justification though, and the Japanese didn't really bothered with making excuses anymore.
