Not for sure...but it might be D
It was china that was carved into spheres of influence for the united kingdom, Germany, Japan, France, Russia, and the United States.
Two actions that were taken by the federal government : Firstly, They didn't honor many treaties that they had. Another is that In 1831 the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Marshall, had attempted to define their status. I hope this helps.
Have a wonderful rest of the day :).
