d) it wanted to apologize for internment of japanese americans

Answer 1

The correct answer is d) it wanted to apologize for internment of Japanese Americans.

The U.S. government issued reparations to Japanese Americans as a form of acknowledgment and apology for the unjust internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, a period when they were forcibly removed from their homes and placed in camps. This acknowledgment was formalized through the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, which provided financial reparations to surviving internees and recognized the wrongdoing of the internment.
