Answer
A
the damage the US caused Japan’s economy
B
the weak Japanese economy
C
a communist victory in China
D
the new opportunities for industry
E
the support of communism by citizens

Explanation

SCAP worried that Japan’s weak economy could make communist promises appealing to people facing hardship. A communist victory in China also raised fears that communism would spread across Asia, while support for communism among Japanese citizens showed that it already had a following in Japan. New opportunities for industry did not cause this concern.
