The correct answer is option B. "Their isolation left them far behind Europe". The first Sino-Japanese War was a conflict between China and Japan over the influence of Korea. After this conflict passed, both China and Japan had to endure a slower progress in relation to European countries because of their common policy of isolation. Isolation avoid the benefits of international trade that Europe had.

The similar challenge that China and Japan face following the Sino-Japanese war was:

(B) Their militaries needed to be modernized.

The first major war between China and Japan occurred between August 1, 1894, and April 17, 1895. It was a defeat for China who lost power over Korea and the Weihai’s harbor. During the second half of the 19th century, they had already lost the two Opium wars on their land. This conflict involved England and their Western allies such as, France, the United States, and Russia who wanted to control the opium sales. This third great defeat made China understand the necessity of adopting Western weapons and leave their traditional weapons.

Despite this quick victory over China, Japan was not strong enough, and Western countries still dominated them. In 1895, Russia took advantage of the success of Japan to take control of northern Manchuria. At that moment, Japan had the ambition to build an empire and conquer new lands. They understood that it was because of the modernization of their army after defeating China, and this process was necessary to be continued to become more powerful.
