Final answer:

Japan was not given part of Germany after World War II; instead, Germany was divided among the UK, France, the US, and the Soviet Union.

Step-by-step explanation:

After World War II, Germany was divided into four occupation zones as agreed upon at the Potsdam Conference in 1945. These zones were controlled by the United Kingdom, France, the United States, and the Soviet Union. The correct answer to the student's question, 'Which country was not given part of Germany after World War II?' is c) Japan. Japan was an Axis power in World War II and was on the losing side of the war, thus it was not given control over any part of Germany after the war concluded.
