Hint:Peace is when people can resolve their conflicts without violence and can work together to improve the quality of their lives. It means that everyone has the right to participate in shaping the political conditions and that the government is answerable to the people. Everyone has an equal opportunity to make a living, irrespective of gender or any other part of their identity. Everyone is equal before the law, judicial systems are trusted, and fair and effective laws protect human rights.

Complete answer:
Constitution of Japan
The Japanese people, acting through their duly elected representatives in the National Diet, have decided that they shall ensure for themselves and for their welfare the fruits of peaceful cooperation with all nations and the blessings of democracy in this region, and have determined that they shall never again be visited by the horrors of war through the actions of the Government, proclaim the Sovereignty, founded upon the fundamental principle that government is a sacred trust, the authority derived from the people, the powers exercised by the representatives of the people, and the benefits enjoyed by the people; and reject and revoke all constitutions, ordinances, laws and rescripts in dispute herewith. Wishing peace for all time and fully aware of the high principles that govern human relations that are now stirring humanity, and are determined to rely on the justice and good faith of the peace-loving peoples of the world for their security and survival. They want to hold an esteemed position in an international community that is planned and devoted to the preservation of peace and the banishment of tyranny and slavery, injustice and bigotry, for all time on earth. They understand and agree that all people have the right to live in peace, free from fear and will.
They believe that no people are responsible for themselves, but that the laws of political morality are universal; and that adherence to those laws is the duty of all peoples who preserve their own sovereignty and justify their sovereign relationship with other peoples.
To these high values and goals, the Japanese people are committed to national honour, determined will and maximum resources.

The Answer is Option B - 5 times.

Note: With the defeat of Japan, fifty years ago in the Second World War, it stopped the shooting. Japan has never started shooting again.That fact by itself, is remarkable for the twentieth century great power in Asia. Among all the world powers, Japan's record has been the same since 1945. Most distinctively peaceful, in line with the values of the international law and morality, and of the United States, but still in compliance with the legal specifications of what the Japanese call their Peace Constitution.
