Question

medieval japan was based upon the bakufu system, whose warriors (or military forces) were led by the... a. shoguns b. samurai c. emperor d. daimyo

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the context. The question is about the Meiji period in Japan and the social class that was based on the feudal system, with members serving in the military or bureaucracy led by the shogun. The samurai were the warrior class in feudal Japan, especially during the Meiji period's transition, and they were involved in military and bureaucratic roles under the shogunate system. Shoguns were the military rulers, not the class serving; daimyo were feudal lords, and ronin were masterless samurai. So the correct class is samurai.

Answer:

B. samurai
