Answer 1

D Access to productive resources.

Japan is a resource-poor nation with limited arable land, few natural resources, and a dense population, which placed considerable limits on its economic development. Historically, Japan has had to import many of its essential resources, including raw materials for industry and energy supplies like oil and gas.

Technological limits (Answer A) have not been Japan's greatest economic challenge; in fact, Japan has been a global leader in technology and innovation in various fields, especially since the mid-20th century.

Education of its people (Answer B) also has not been a major challenge for Japan. The country is known for its high-quality education system and a literate and skilled workforce, which has been a key factor in its economic development.

Reluctance to engage in trade (Answer C) was a characteristic of Japan's economic policies during the period of national seclusion (sakoku) in the Edo period. However, since the Meiji Restoration in the late 19th century, Japan actively opened its economy to international trade and became an export powerhouse. Trade has been an integral part of Japan's post-World War II economic success, so reluctance to engage in trade is not accurate in the context of its modern economic challenges.
