The correct answer is B. Frederick the Great. He was one of the greatest Prussian leaders ever and is famous for his military accomplishments, mostly related to his successful participation in the Seven Years' war after which Prussia became one of the leading powers in the entire Europe. After him it all went down and Prussia started losing its influence.
