It is not safe to assume that the reason other imperial powers didnt invade Japan as they did in China was due to their own strenghts and manipulatory skills to maintain enemies far only. This is definetly C. This due to the fact that the japanese had a strong "rulling" or elite group which closed Japan internely and maintaining lots of its culture intact. (d) Japan had a very unique culture and lots of technologically great things as well as natural sources meaning that was probably not a great excuse for stating it to be a reason to keep imperial powers out. e) The abundance of natural resources was probably not true either due to the fact that China had tons of them too.

Europe could in no way match the numerical superiority of the Asians. This makes C the only logical answer.
 * c) Europe’s development of new military technologies**
