Which sentence states a reason?

Answer 1

the forth one states the reason

Answer 2

Truman's final decision to use atomic bomb on Japan brought an end to a war that might have gone on for months or even years longer. It finally brought World War II to an end and it did not cause any other war of that magnanimity to arise till date in this world.

Explanation:

Truman very well knew it would cause huge American causalities but it was the only way to speedily end the war.

Otherwise, Japan would not have surrendered and the world war would have continued, causing huge loss of life and wealth, destruction of mankind and civilization. With the end of World War II, peace prevailed everywhere.

However, the use of atomic bombs boomeranged with many countries starting to produce nuclear weapons.
