which statement about the open door notes is true?

a. they were written by the japanese ambassadors.

b. they were sent to the qing dynasty.

c. they were sent to european powers.

d. they were written by representatives of the european powers.

Explanation:

The Open Door Notes were policy statements (1899 - 1900) by the U.S. to European powers (and Japan) to ensure equal trading rights in China (Qing Dynasty at the time). Option A is wrong as they were from the U.S., not Japanese ambassadors. Option B is incorrect as they were addressed to foreign powers, not the Qing. Option D is wrong as they were from the U.S. (not European representatives). Option C is correct as the U.S. sent them to European powers to propose the Open Door policy for China.

Answer:

C. They were sent to European powers.
