To confirm the correct answer, let's go through the options and find out which event led to the United States cutting off sales of oil to Japan:
A. Japanese attack on Dutch Indonesia: This event did occur, but it did not directly result in the United States cutting off oil sales to Japan.
B. Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor: This event, which took place on December 7, 1941, led to the United States' entry into World War II. While it did contribute to the decision to cut off oil sales to Japan, it was not the immediate cause.
C. Japanese occupation of southern Indochina: This event, which occurred in July 1941, prompted the United States to impose an embargo on Japan, including a halt in oil sales. So, this is the correct answer.
D. Japanese occupation of Hong Kong: Although the Japanese occupied Hong Kong during World War II, it was not the reason for the United States cutting off oil sales to Japan.
Based on the explanation, your answer of C (Japanese occupation of southern Indochina) is correct. Well done!
