The correct answer is C) Desire for new markets.
This desire for new markets resulted in the "Scramble for Africa." This term refers to the constant competition among European countries for colonial possessions in Africa. It got to the point where the competition was at such a high level, that European countries met to lay down some ground rules. This was known as the Berlin Conference (1884-1885). After this, colonization of these African territories continued to rise, as industrialization in Europe resulted in the desire to expand the markets where individuals could trade and sell their goods.
After several losses in the Pacific, such as the loss of the Solomon Islands(Dec 1943) and the loss of the Battle of Leyte Gulf (Oct 1944), I think Japan realised that it was fighting a losing battle. Kamikaze literally means 'divine wind' and was seen as a very honourable death. The Japanese were very resilient and by the end of the war kamikaze bombers had sunk 34 US ships and damaged 288 more. Not a very good answer to your question but hope it helps.
I hope it works I found it I wanted to help you!!
