Explanation

France wanted stronger punishment of Germany, while Great Britain worried that the treaty was too harsh and could create future resentment. Germany was excluded from the negotiations and resented being forced to sign the treaty under threat of invasion. Japan was unhappy that its proposal for racial equality was rejected, so it felt its contribution had not been fully rewarded. Italy was dissatisfied with the rewards it received, and the U.S. Congress did not approve joining the League of Nations, so C and E are incorrect.
