World War II took place from 1939 to 1945 and the following events led up to the United States becoming involved in WWII.
In 1939, the US cancelled its trade agreement with Japan.
The US embargoed (or outlawed the buying or selling) of Japanese iron, steel, and mechanical parts.
Japan sent troops to Indochina to pressure British and Dutch Far East possessions and US, British, and other Western nations reacted by freezing Japanese assets and blocking the buying of Japanese oil.
Japan and the US were in talks to ensure peace, but ideas put forth by the Japanese were considered to be inadequate by the US. Japan was asked by the US to evacuate China but the Japanese refused to, suggesting they would instead be preparing for a war.
The Japanese bombed/attacked British and American holdings on December 7, 1941 (including Pearl Harbor).

Answer:
The correct answer is: <em>B. A study of the types and prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in small rural towns in a mid-western state.</em>
Explanation:
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is a topic that has had stigma, negative stereotypes and other negative connotations attached to it throughout history. If a study investigated the types and prevalence of STIs in small rural towns in a mid-western state, along with stigmatizing participants in the study, the results of this study could also potentially stigmatize residents of these towns by extrapolating claims such as "town <em>X </em>in this mid-western state has high prevalence of various types of STIs". These claims might make it seem like the presence of STIs is high in a given rural town (when this in fact might be untrue), especially considering the town is small in size. In this way, a study that investigates the types and prevalence of STIs in small rural towns in a mid-western state could produce harm to members of the sampled population who do not actually participate in the research study.
