Explanation:

The Senkaku Islands are a group of uninhabited islands in the East China Sea. They are known in mainland China as the Diaoyu Islands. The islands are the focus of a territorial dispute between Japan and China. China claims the discovery and ownership of the islands from the 14th century, while Japan maintained ownership of the islands from 1895 until its surrender at the end of World War II. Hence option (b) is the correct answer.
