Answer:

A. military

Step-by-step explanation:

Why did President Truman decide to drop the bombs on Japan?

Truman stated that his decision to drop the bomb was purely military. A Normandy-type amphibious landing would have cost an estimated million casualties. Truman believed that the bombs saved Japanese lives as well. Prolonging the war was not an option for the President.
