I believe the answer is: A. Austria

At that time period, Austria was regarded as one of the strongest empire in Europe. He knew that he wouldn't stand a chance if he choose to fight with Austria heads on. Because of this, he choose to seek help with Austria's economic competitors such as France, Belgium, and England.
