Answer 1

The correct response is: **Nationalists argued that expansion could provide new resources because the export industry was suffering.**

During the Great Depression, Japan faced significant economic challenges, including a decline in exports due to global trade restrictions and decreased demand. Nationalists believed that territorial expansion could secure new resources and markets, which could help alleviate the economic hardships and support Japan's recovery from the depression.
