The correct answer is letter B.

Explanation: Nationalism is an ideology that arose in the nineteenth century when nation states were affirmed in Europe.

The term is used to describe the sentiment and attitude that members of a nation have when forming national identity.

Nationalism was fundamental as an ideology for German Unification and Italian Unification. Both territories were made up of small states independent of each other, but united by the same past.
