Which of the following best analyzes Japan's political power based on its size, shape, and relative location?

A. Japan's relative location limits its ability to gain political power.
B. Japan's compact shape has helped it gain political power.
C. Japan is a powerful country even though it is territorially small and fragmented.
D. Japan has little political power because it is small in land area and population.

B. Japan's compact shape has helped it gain political power.

I don't think B is correct because I looked up the answer and it's C.

I apologize for the mistake. The correct answer is indeed C: Japan is a powerful country even though it is territorially small and fragmented. This analysis considers factors beyond just size, shape, and relative location to recognize Japan's overall political power. Thank you for pointing out the error.
