Answer 1

Answer: (D)-All of the above.

Step-by-step explanation:

Imperial Japan wanted to expand and control more territory so they could have more access to resources and they had two main plans for that. The Northern plan involved Northern China and the USSR and was favored by the army which saw the USSR as Japan's biggest threat.

The Navy however, saw the U.S. as Japan's biggest threat and wanted to destroy the operations of the U.S. and other western powers in South-east Asia so that they could have free reign in taking territory they wanted such as the Dutch-East Indies.
