○ totalitarianism
○ interdependence
○ appeasement
○ isolationism

Explanation:

The Edict of 1635 restricts Japanese from leaving for foreign countries, returning from overseas, and also has measures against Christians. Isolationism is a policy of remaining apart from the affairs or interests of other groups, especially the political affairs of other countries. Totalitarianism is a system of government with total control, interdependence is mutual dependence, and appeasement is giving in to demands to avoid conflict—none fit as well as isolationism here.

Answer:

D. isolationism
