Answer:

The correct answer is C. The second atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan because Japan had not surrendered for three days following the bombing of Hiroshima. The United States wanted to end the war quickly and decided to use the second atomic bomb as a demonstration of their military might in order to force Japan to surrender.
