Explanation:

To determine China's motive in joining WWI with the Allies, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Japan had occupied Chinese territory (like Shandong, previously held by Germany). By joining the Allies, China aimed to pressure Japan to return these territories. This aligns with historical context.
• Option B: China's primary motive wasn't to ally with the US for global power; its focus was on territorial recovery from Japan (who took German - held Chinese lands).
• Option C: Collecting reparations from Germany was not the main motive. The key issue was Japanese occupation of Chinese territory.
• Option D: China and Japan were not allying; Japan was an aggressor in Chinese territory, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

A. They hoped to force Japan out of territory in China.
