Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Executive Order 9066 did not fully integrate Asian-Americans into U.S. Army units serving overseas. Instead, it led to the internment of Japanese-Americans, many of whom were U.S. citizens, in camps under the suspicion of being potential spies. While some Japanese-Americans served in the military, they were initially segregated into their own units, such as the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, which became one of the most decorated units for its size and length of service in the history of American warfare.
