A similarity between the Battle of Midway and the Battle of the Coral Sea is that both

Answer
A
were significant victories for the Allies.
B
significantly reduced Japan’s naval strength.
C
were good examples of the “island-hopping” strategy.
D
were fought by warplanes from aircraft carriers.

Explanation

Both battles were fought primarily by aircraft launched from aircraft carriers; the opposing fleets did not directly engage each other with their main guns. The Battle of the Coral Sea and the Battle of Midway were both major carrier-aircraft battles. Midway was a clear Allied victory, but Coral Sea was not as decisive, so C is the shared feature.
