in response to commodore perrys arrival in edo bay, how did young japanese elites plan to modernize?
they planned to adopt western technology, while maintaining japanese culture.
they planned to adopt both western culture and christianity.
they planned to adopt western forms of governance, while maintaining japanese technological traditions.
they planned to adopt both western technology and western culture.

Explanation:

After Commodore Perry's arrival, Japan realized the need to modernize. The Meiji Restoration (inspired by this event) aimed to adopt Western technology (like industrial - military tech) while keeping core Japanese cultural elements (e.g., Shinto, traditional arts). Adopting Western culture completely (options with full - scale cultural adoption) or ignoring Western tech (option with maintaining Japanese tech traditions) doesn't align with historical modernization efforts.

Answer:

They planned to adopt Western technology, while maintaining Japanese culture.
