"An island nation with a strong navy is easier to defend."

Reason: This general geographic/military fact applies to both Great Britain and Japan — both are island nations that relied on powerful navies (the Royal Navy for Britain; the Imperial Japanese Navy after Meiji) for defense and imperial power projection. The other choices refer specifically to British colonies or to China and do not fit both columns.
