Solution

The correct option is C The empire was linguistically diverse with people from different ethnic groups. The people could not be united.
The Habsburg Empire was a vast territory that stretched across Alpine mountains to Bohemia, from Lombardy to Galicia, and from Hungary to Transylvania. People spoke different languages like Polish, German, and French. There were several different ethnic groups such as Bohemians, Slovenes, Croats and Roumans. All the regions had only one reason to bind them, that was the emperor. There was no unifying factor beyond their local regions.
