Einstein was German, so he would not need a visa to be in Germany: answer c could not be correct.

Instead, he had to flee because of his Jewish heritage and of the Anti-Semitic sentiments in Germany.

The correct answer is: d. because of increasing anti-Semitism in Germany, including an assassination attempt
