Several devices developed by thomas edison led to the: a construction of textile mills throughout new england. b. use of interchangeable parts in manufacturing plants. c. opening of japan to global trade. d. creation of the motion picture industry.

It is D, hope that this helps.

The answer is D)  creation of the motion picture industry.

Explanation:

Edison's laboratory is the birthplace of the Kinetograph (a motion picture camera) and the Kinetoscope (a peep-hole motion picture viewer). Motion pictures became a successful entertainment industry in less than a decade, with single-viewer Kinetoscopes giving way to films projected for mass audiences. Furthermore, Edison's company also  also produced films for public consumption.

the fact that could also be added to column b is that during world war ii, specifically between the years 1941 and 1945, japan expanded its territory towards the indonesian territory in what was known later as part of the "pacific war". in that time, japan could conquer the philipines, singapore,   borneo, central java, malang, cebu, sumatra and various other islands of the area, therefore expanding its territory for a brief period of time.
