Solution
The correct option is B Weimar Republic Germany was ruled by the Weimar Republic after the First World War. The Nazi Party was not in power back then. The Nazi Party was formed in 1921 and went on to become the only party that ruled Germany in 1933. In 1928, the Nazi Party had got less than 2.6 percent of votes in the Reichstag – the lower house of the German parliament. But by 1932, it had become the largest party in Germany with 37 per cent votes under Hitler's leadership.
