b. Communism
c. Expulsion
d. Genocide

Answer 1

Option C, Expulsion.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the determination to win the against the Japanese, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued the Executive Order 9066 in the year 1942. It was a controversial World War II policy that ordered the removal of resident enemy aliens from parts of the West vaguely identified as military areas.

The order granted the War Department immense powers to create military exclusion areas. Although the order did not identify any particular group, in practice it was issued exclusively to intern Americans of Japanese descent.

It was an expulsion of people of Japanese ancestry to military guarded camps. Roosevelt could not take any risk of loosing the war by means of Japanese espionage and spies.
