Japan's position in China, in the spring of 1944, can be described as:
a) Increasingly embattled because of U.S. air attacks.
b) Tenuous, because many Japanese forces in China had been sent into the Pacific.
c) Relatively comfortable because Japan did not have to fear counteroffensives from the Chinese or Allied forces.
d) Increasingly embattled because of combined Chinese Nationalist-Communist offensives.
