Answer
The correct answer is "c. For protection because they were the only ones left."Onoda ordered his men to take to the hills for protection because they were the only ones left. As one of the few Japanese soldiers who remained on the island after Japan surrendered in 1945, he feared being captured or killed by the enemy forces that had invaded the island. Taking to the hills allowed him and his men to hide and evade capture for several decades.
