Answer 1

I think it's C but I saw another post and someone said A is right, so I'm not sure.

Answer 2

"On this day in 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt seizes all Japanese assets in the United States in retaliation for the Japanese occupation of French Indo-China."

Maybe it is A?

Answer 4

Yeah, I think it's A.

For anybody else who needs the answer, here's more info:

In early 1941, Japan moved into southern Indochina.[9] thereby threatening British Malaya, North Borneo, and Brunei.

Responding to continuing Japanese aggression in China, the U.S. froze Japanese assets in the U.S. on 26 July 1941 and on 1 August established an embargo on oil and gasoline exports to Japan.[11] The oil embargo was an especially strong response because oil was Japan's most crucial import, and more than 80 percent of Japan's oil at the time came from the United States.[12]
