Correct:
C
Explanation
The city of Hiroshima is located on Honshu, the largest and most populous island of the Japanese archipelago [1]. Specifically, Hiroshima is the capital of Hiroshima Prefecture and is situated in the southwestern part of Honshu within the Chugoku region. In contrast, the city of Nagasaki is located on the island of Kyushu, which is the southernmost and most westerly of Japan's four main islands [3]. Nagasaki serves as the capital of Nagasaki Prefecture and is situated in the northern part of Kyushu. Both cities are historically significant as the only two cities in the world to have been struck by atomic bombs during World War II. Therefore, Hiroshima is on Honshu and Nagasaki is on Kyushu, making option 3 the correct sequence.
