B) the Chinese armed forces had been removed from the city  Explanation:The city of Nanjing was extremely powerless against Japanese attacks since Chinese political and military leader Chiang Kai-shek and General Chen Cheng pull back from the city of Nanjing alongside elite Chinese troops under substantial and consistent barrage by the Japanese Imperial Air Force. Therefore the city was absolutely unprotected and absolutely helpless against the Japanese attack.

The city of Nanjing was extremely vulnerable to japanese Attacks because the Chinese forces were removed from the city as an effort of regrouping and relocating, because the Japanese army had taken bigger cities with bigger resistances. The Japanese army had high morals and empowered, if the would have fought a battle with sustancial resistance in Nanjing the chinse would have lost all. Explanation:In the first place, the Japanese Army had taken Shanghai which had a very big and substantial amount of resistance. A factor that empowered the Japanese forces, also by capturing it they controlled the resources and the flux of them. Limiting their distribution, the Japanese army controlled a very important strategic point. In the second place, Nanjing had enough Chinese forces to fight a good battle of resistance, however by being an industrial important city it represented a very big risk. If the Chinese lost their forces along with the economical power of Nanjing, they would have lost a very decisive fight that might have cost them the war or the opportunity of a comeback in another point. However, they decided to take a loss of the strategic point without performing a high scale defense, because they decided it was better to save the troops. The city reunited thousands of refugees in a safe zone with a temporary government under Japanese command and helped them survive by claiming their rights as refugees, they had many foreigners among them and they provided them a nice chance.

Good Morning! The city was abandoned by the official troops of the Chinese government, who feared a Japanese invasion. Without professional resistance, citizenship was easily taken. Hugs!
