Answer 1

I agree with D! BC I know that he had an empire that was getting stronger and stronger

Answer 2

The correct answer is D) Nationalism was awakened, leading to the unification of several small states into powerful nations. This happened in Italy during the Risorgimiento (or Italian unification), which was a political and social movement that made all the different city-states in Italy into one. This equally happened in Germany where the Northern German states consolidated and the Southern German states consolidated and annexed Austria and Italy.
