Answer:

Option: C) Many Americans feared they were involved in spying on the United States.

Step-by-step explanation:

During WW II when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, American people became worried and believed that the Japanese who were living in America were spies. Japanese were sent to live in camps with barbed wires and were not allowed to go outside the premises. most of these camps were built in the areas where the Japanese were populated.
