c. he represented the united states at the league of nations.
d. he developed a plan for rebuilding germany after world war ii.

 The correct answer is : B. He opened trade relations with Japan in 1853.

Explanation:  Perry broke Japan's international isolation and forced it to open to other foreign countries, such as the United States. President Fillmore sent him to Japan to negotiate a trade treaty since Japan had not had relations with any country for many years, finally Japan signed a treaty with the United States of friendship, peace and trade.
