B, because when Japan attacked China, China unified to fight a common enemy.
Nobility is a social class normally ranked immediately under royalty and found in some societies that have a formal aristocracy. Nobility possesses more acknowledged privileges and higher social status than most other classes in society. The privileges associated with nobility may constitute substantial advantages over or relative to non-nobles, or may be largely honorary (e.g., precedence), and vary by country and era. As referred to in the Medieval chivalric motto noblesse oblige ("nobility obliges"), nobles can also carry a lifelong duty to uphold various social responsibilities, such as honorable behavior, customary service,[clarification needed] or leadership positions. Membership in the nobility, including rights and responsibilities, is typically hereditary.
Membership in the nobility has historically been granted by a monarch or government, unlike other social classes where membership is determined solely by wealth, lifestyle, or affiliation.[clarification needed] Nonetheless, acquisition of sufficient power, wealth, military prowess, or royal favour has occasionally enabled commoners to ascend into the nobility.[1]
There are often a variety of ranks within the noble class. Legal recognition of nobility has been more common in monarchies, but nobility also existed in such regimes as the Dutch Republic (1581–1795), the Republic of Genoa (1005–1815), the Republic of Venice (697–1797), and the Old Swiss Confederacy (1300–1798), and remains part of the legal social structure of some non-hereditary regimes, e.g., Channel Islands, San Marino, and the Vatican City in Europe.
Hereditary titles and styles added to names (such as "Prince" or "Lord" or "Lady"), as well as honorifics often distinguish nobles from non-nobles in conversation and written speech. In many nations most of the nobility have been un-titled, and some hereditary titles do not indicate nobility (e.g., vidame). Some countries have had non-hereditary nobility, such as the Empire of Brazil or life peers in the United Kingdom.

Explanation:
The common answer you'll get for this question is that the Taliban were a brutal islamic fundamentalists who suppressed their population and who harboured terrorists. And they did (probably the answer that you want). But the United States invasion of Afghanistan in 2003 had some very sinister sides to it- apart from the torture and violations of human rights. Prior to the Taliban's seizure of power, the pro-American government before them had granted Unocal, a US oil company based out of California, permission to pipeline oil from Azerbaijan. Interestingly Unocal donated to both George HW Bush's (1st Bush President) and his son's George W Bush's presidency campaigns and Bush Sr served on the board of the company after his presidency (basically earned lots of money from them) so if youre writing an essay on this topic, I'd recommened you add some of the stuff I said because it highlights a conflict of interest and will probably serve to balance your essay.
Hope I helped and please rate my answer :)
