Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• The first option is incorrect because the Bataan Death March involved Japanese forces, not Italian.
• The second option is incorrect as the march didn't end Japanese occupation of the Philippines.
• The third option is correct: The Bataan Death March revealed Japan's mistreatment of POWs (22,000 died from abuse, etc.) and this rallied Allied resolve against Japanese aggression.

Answer:

C. It revealed Japan’s mistreatment of POWs and rallied Allied resolve (Note: Assuming the options are labeled A, B, C in order; if original labels differ, adjust. Here the third option is the correct one.)
