I don’t know your answer choices, but the closest spot is Midway.

How could they bomb the islands of Japan with the aircraft they had? The nearest land base was the tiny atoll of Midway, the farthest west of the Hawaiian group, perched 1,300 miles from Oahu but still 2,500 miles away from Tokyo—out of range of any 1942 bomber.
