The response options provided do not fully answer the question of why Japan feared becoming a colony. However, Japan's fear of becoming a colony can be attributed to several factors including its observation of colonization in other parts of Asia and Africa by European powers, its desire to maintain its independence and sovereignty, and its efforts to modernize and industrialize in order to compete with Western powers.
