c) Japan wanted raw materials and natural resources.

Preceding the events of the Second World War, Japan was poised with the intent of emerging as a leader of nations within South and South East Asia. The defeat of a great imperial power like Russia boosted Japan’s morale, inspiring its military leaders to embark on a path of colonial expansion that would allow Japan to expand, and have access to more resources. This change of attitude was also accelerated by Japan’s ambitions to emerge as a leader of South and Southeast Asian nations, which would use Japan’s success as an example to harbor their ambitions. The Japanese invasion of Manchuria was also accelerated by the events of the Great Depression, and her constant increasing population, leading to a heavy strain of resources. By the terms of the Treaty of Portsmouth, the Japanese authorities had invested huge amounts of money into the construction of the South Manchuria Railway and had an army stationed there for the safeguarding of its interests. The vast resources of Manchuria led Japan to invade and annex the territory on the pretext of protecting its interests.

Further Explanation-

The Japanese Government had vested huge sums in developing the sustaining the economy of South Manchuria, which was so complete that by the end of 1931, the Manchurian government was virtually under the control of Japanese troops. The Japanese military decided the invasion in a desperate bid to provide resources for the growing population, and also expand their living space, with markets, where Japanese goods would find an outlet for sale. The solution to all problems was the complete annexation of the province of Manchuria, dismantling the government and replacing it with a puppet administration that would only concede to Japanese interests. Thus, Japan completely disregarded the warnings and economic sanctions placed upon it by the League of Nations and completely took over Manchuria.
