The correct answer is D) the Japanese government's distrust of European culture and influence.


The Tokugawa shogunate was an isolationist government in which anything that was perceived as being against the traditional Japanese understanding of the world and people was banned. They believed Christians were seeking to destroy the Japanese way of life and actively surpressed any Christian from going there on missions and spreading Christianity.
