The correct answer is C. The US froze Japan’s assets and exports

Step-by-step explanation:

The bombing of Pearl Harbor was an attack from the Japanese forces that took place on December 7th of 1941 as a naval base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was bombed, which made the U.S. officially enter to the Second War World. It is considered this attack had multiple causes, but one of the most important was the decision fo the U.S. government to end shipments or exports to Japan especially exports related to airplanes, machine tools and others that helped Japan in the war, also, this measure was strengthened as in 1941 assets and oil exports to Japan ended which created tension between both countries and led to the attack by the end of the same year. Therefore, the U.S. action that angered the Japanese and resulted in the bombing of Pearl Harbor was the U.S. froze Japan's assets and exports.
