A Correct answer
Explanation

Sakhalin Island, which contains huge petroleum deposits and belongs to Russia, has been occasionally claimed by Japan. The territorial dispute dates back to the 19th century, and Japan has historical claims to the southern part of the island. The island's significant oil and gas reserves make it strategically important for both countries. Neither USA, China, nor Germany has territorial claims over Sakhalin.
