Answer:

a. The newspapers reported rumors about Japanese Americans being spies

Explanation:

Guided and sponsored to do so, the West Coast newspapers started reporting that there are numerous Japanese Americans that are working as spies for Japan. The government feared from this, and they convinced the newspapers to spread it around so that the Japanese Americans are alienated so that they can deal with them in their own way. The people understandably panicked, so when the US government decided to take large portion of the Americans of Japanese ancestry into concentration camps, no one was resisting that. The reality was that there were no proofs of any such activity, and the US government acted cruelly because of its fear and prevention of such a thing to happen.
