The most accurate answer is:
A. Nazis claimed that any opposing political party was part of a secret Jewish conspiracy and needed to be stopped.
The Nazis used a mix of propaganda and ideology to justify their persecution of political opponents, particularly leftists and communists. They often framed these groups as part of a broader "Jewish conspiracy" that threatened the German nation. This narrative was part of their antisemitic rhetoric and served to unite their supporters against perceived enemies, allowing them to justify violent repression and persecution.
