Yes, the last answer is the correct one. Japan wanted more security, prestige, wealth, and power to mimic the success of the western world. The Meiji dynasty took hold of a long-held desire to become an empire and made it an achievable goal.
The reason why Japan became an imperial power in the late nineteenth century is that it wanted to have more security, prestige, wealth, and power. So your answer is correct. Japan wants the power over all countries in the world that is why there are wars just to achieve their dominance.
