Explanation:

Commodore Matthew Perry's mission to Japan in the 1850s was to open Japan to American trade. He used "black ships" to pressure Japan, leading to the Treaty of Kanagawa (1854), a trade agreement between Japan and the U.S. Option A is incorrect (Japan didn't surrender Chinese territory here), B is incorrect (the goal was trade, not anti - European alliance), and D is incorrect (Japan didn't surrender its navy).

Answer:

C. Sign a trade agreement with the U.S.
