Correct answer: it was the first major Allied offensive against Japanese forces.
Explanation: The Guadalcanal campaign (Aug 1942–Feb 1943) was the Allies' first large-scale offensive in the Pacific, marking a strategic turning point by stopping Japanese expansion and shifting initiative to the Allies. (The US seized the Japanese-built airstrip—Henderson Field—rather than allowing Japan to use it; the campaign involved many sea battles but is best known as the first major Allied land/sea/air offensive against Japan.)
