E. Prosecuting war criminals
The correct answer is A. Democratizing the country.
After World War II, one of the primary goals of the United States in restructuring the Japanese government was to establish a democratic system. This included implementing a new constitution that promoted civil liberties, suffrage, and a parliamentary system, reducing the chances of militarism and totalitarianism taking root again. While dismantling the military and dealing with war criminals were also important, the focus on democratization was central to promoting stability and peace in post-war Japan.
