B.
The U.S.-led occupation (1945–52) produced a democratic constitution (including pacifist Article 9), land and educational reforms, and institutions that enabled political stability. Japan experienced rapid economic growth in the 1950s–1970s and became one of the world's largest economies. The other choices are incorrect: there was no lasting coup overthrowing democracy (A); Japan did not fall under Soviet influence (C); and it did not build a large offensive military — it created the Self-Defense Forces under strict limits (D).
