Solution

The correct options are
A Japan became an imperial superpower.
C The Japanese rulers were still feudalistic.
D Japan got industrialized due to adoption of western machinery and education.
Japan was ruled by Mutsuhito who took the name Meiji Tennō when he ascended the throne. He was the emperor of Japan from 1867 to 1912. The Meiji period featured the radical transformation of Japan. During his reign, Japan was dramatically transformed from a feudal country into one of the great powers of the modern world. Japan had become equals with western nations in many respects. Though the outlook of the rulers still remained feudal, Japan had a modern army, navy, and had emerged as an advanced industrialised power owing to the cues they took from western machinery and education.
