Answer 2

The correct answer is option B "the surrender of 75,000 Allied soldiers in the Philippines". The Bataan Death March was the forcible transfer of Allied forces by the Japanese army from Bataan to different camps in the Philippines. This infamous 65 miles march happened because US General Edward King Jr. was forced to surrender when his 75,000 Allied forces were facing deprivation and starvation.
