A. Racism
B. Nationalism
C. Imperialism
D. Communism

C.

Explanation:

The arrival of Commodore Perry's ship off the coast of Japan can best be desribed as imperialism.

The term 'imperialism' can be defined as a forceful imposing of one nation's authority over the other, often using military forces, with a purpose to denounce the nation's foreign policy.

When Commodore Perry's ship arrived at the Japanese coast, it arrived with the purpose to revoke Japan's foreign policy of isolation. President Millard sent the warships asking Japan to either revoke their foreign policy and start trade with the Western world or they will use military force on them.

This forceful imposing of America's authority over Japan best falls under imperialism. Therefore, option C is correct.
