Answer 1

The correct option is B (i), (ii), (iii)

Nationalism is an ideology that places the nation at the centre of its concerns, and seeks to promote its well-being. Nationalism did not just help with the creation of nation-states, but it also changed the way people defined their identity. During the 19th century, many nation-states, like Germany and Italy, were formed in Europe. And this was happened because of ‘Nationalism.’
