The correct option is option d:

China was ready for a powerful leader after chaos at the end of the republic

Explanation:

The Chinese civil war conclusion resulted in the communist victory and withdrawal of nationalist forces from the island of Taiwan, Chiang Kai-Shek emerged as dictator of the new Republic, with the aim of coordinating his forces to reconquer mainland China. The unrest in which forces of the Kuomintang were toppled made having a strong and reliable political leader necessary, a role that Chiang Kai-Shek occupied.

Chiang Kai-shek ruled Taiwan authoritatively from 1949 till his death in 1975, and was succeeded by his son Chiang Ching-kuo. In his time in Taiwan he never submitted himself to the fact that the exile was definitive. He retained the hope that communism would eventually fall and the Republic of China, under his leadership, will reconquer mainland China.
