What is the most likely reason the US dropped a second atomic bomb on Japan?

The first bomb destroyed a city, not the Japanese army.
The US had built two bombs and had planned to use both.
Japan refused to surrender after the first bomb was dropped.
The first bomb fell in a rural area, so few Japanese were impacted.

Answer:

C. Japan refused to surrender after the first bomb was dropped.

Step-by-step explanation:

The U.S dropped the first bomb, and the Japanese did not surrender so the U.S had to drop a second bomb which then the Japanese surrendered. So the answer is C.
