A. Its isolation from mainland Asia allowed Japan to avoid direct attack from enemies

Explanation:

Until December 1941 we can say that World War II was a conflict between European nations. But from then on it will become widespread across the vast regions of Asia. Japan, Germany's ally since 1937, was already involved with China. Torn between the forces of the Koumitang, led by Chiang Kai-shek, and the Communist Party of Mao Tse-Tung, the Chinese had difficulty forming an alliance to combat the invader.

Because of its isolation from mainland Asia, the apon managed to deter possible enemy attacks and this favored its entry into World War II.
