Answer:

c. Japan had a powerful military, and prisoners of war would not be well treated.

Explanation:

  • In order to avenge the enemy, the Japanese did an infamous act - forcing defeated US and Philippine troops to march 130 km from Bataan to Japan's most famous prison of war, O'Donnell.
  • Such an act has been remembered in historiography as the Bataan March of Death.
  • In the Philippine campaign, Japanese casualties amounted to 22,500 soldiers, including 9,000 dead, 500 missing and 13,200 wounded.
  • The Defense Force had 25,000 soldiers killed, 21,000 wounded and more than 100,000 captured and stationed throughout the Philippines in Japanese war camps.
