Correct. The answer is d. Shigeru Yoshida’s remarks demonstrated that he and other Japanese citizens were relieved by the deployment of U.S. and UN troops to South Korea to protect it against North Korea’s incursions. As a disarmed nation, the Japanese were fearful of a Communist threat and dependent on the United States and United Nations for protection.
