What did the US government’s Executive Order 9066 authorize?

Executive Order 9066 authorized military officials to designate areas from which any or all people could be excluded. The order did not specifically name Japanese Americans or require relocation to California, though it was used to force Japanese Americans from their homes and into incarceration camps. Therefore, the correct choice is “the exclusion of any person from any area of the country.”
