Answer 1

B :A and C

Step-by-step explanation:

From the view point of Speaker A he was of the opinion that, the use of the atomic bomb though devastating helped in shorting the war and saving lives. If the war had continued, more millions would have died rather than the thousands that died when the bomb was used. Also, Speaker C believed that since the Japanese first attacked the Americans, then the use of the bomb was justified. To him, all is fair in war.
