Explanation

Executive Order 9066 authorized military authorities to exclude people from designated areas during World War II, leading to the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans. The order was justified by the assumption that Japanese Americans posed a threat to national security, not by evidence that all were plotting against the United States. Therefore, the correct choice is “the assumption that Japanese Americans posed a threat to national security.”
