B. Allies killed almost all of the Japanese soldiers.
The Battle of Iwo Jima was bloody and fierce. At the beginning of the battle, there were over 22,000 Japanese soldiers on the island. By the end of the battle, over 18,000 of them were dead. We should note, however, that some of those deaths occurred by suicide, as Japanese soldiers would choose to protect their honor in this way rather than be captured. (This was depicted in the 2006 film, Letters from Iwo Jima.)
There were more than 26,000 American casualties at Iwo Jima, but the majority of those were injured men rather than fatalities. The number of American soldiers who died at Iwo Jima numbered around 6,800.

The battle of Iwo Jima was one of the bloodiest struggles between the Japanese troops and the Allied Troops in a desperate bid to establish supremacy over the Pacific. Iwo Jima was a strategic point in the war, as it displayed an extreme resolve among Japanese troops to not accept the dishonorable defeat and surrender, but fight to the last man standing, in a desperate bid to maintain her hold over the Pacific Islands and territories captured.
Further Explanation:
The Japanese had shown remarkable military success in their attacks on Pearl Harbor, and thereby embarking on a policy of expansion. The Japanese created a sphere of influence in South and South East Asia, by strategically capturing all the islands, and replacing the indigenous administration with that of their military command. The United States found her control over the Pacific threatened by the brilliance of Japanese invasions and decided to cripple her power by systematically taking control of her Pacific strongholds.
The Americans created a strategy of a two-pronged attack on the Japanese strongholds, which was envisaged to slowly weaken their power over the Pacific Islands. The American troops were commanded by General MacArthur, who proposed the dismantling of Japanese power around strategic points in the South East Asian Islands, especially Indonesia and the Philippines. The conquest of the Philippines would freeze Japanese control over the Pacific supply routes and would limit her diplomatic and overseas influence. The American officials had correctly estimated the diplomatic and strategic importance of Iwo Jima, as capturing it would provide them easy access to taking over Tokyo. Despite envisaging the futility of resistance, the Japanese Generals had managed to put up an excellent resistance, and diminish the strength of the American troops. The strong military ideals and the extreme determination of the Japanese troops to embrace death rather than surrender had invoked a sense of respect even in the minds of the American Generals.
