Answer:
The correct answer is D
Explanation:
After the power of the Emperor was restoed in Japan thanks to the Meiji restoration, Emperor Meiji (hence the name of the era) carried out a series of reforms that modernized Japan, and changed the country from a rural, and feudal society, to an industrial, military, and imperial power that could rival the West.
Emperor Meiji ended the feudal system, and the priviliges of the damyos and the Samurai in favor of a more egalitarian land distribution, and also in favor of a more industrial economy. He also developed the military thanks to the economic growth brought by the growth of industry. Finally, Meiji openned Japan to the rest of the world, after the country had been in almost total isolation for over three centuries. This brought new influences from the West not only in economic and military matters, but also in culture and society.
