Correct answers: b and c.
Explanation: After Pearl Harbor Japanese and Japanese Americans faced intense suspicion and surveillance (FBI arrests, alien registration, ID requirements) and many white Americans questioned their loyalty, leading to discrimination and the forced removal and incarceration of about 120,000 people in relocation camps. They were not deported en masse (a is false). Option d is not accurate as a general effect—while some groups later advocated for Japanese Americans, there was not a broad supportive movement to distinguish them from Japan at the time.
