The best answer to the question is:
B) Japan followed a policy of isolation from other countries.
During the Tokugawa period, Japan implemented a strict isolationist policy known as "sakoku," which limited foreign influence and trade primarily to the Dutch and Chinese. Nagasaki was the only port allowed for foreign trade, making it the main trading point for the Dutch in Japan during this time.
