Explanation:

After the Pearl Harbor bombing, President Roosevelt ordered Japanese - Americans into internment camps (Executive Order 9066), which violated their civil rights. Option A is incorrect as forcing them into the army wasn't the main civil - rights - violating action. Option C is wrong as they weren't sent to Japan. Option D (confiscating guns) and E (ordering to pay for the war) are not the main actions related to civil rights violation in this context.
