Answer 1

A. Nazis claimed that any opposing political party was part of a secret Jewish conspiracy and needed to be stopped.

This option reflects the Nazi ideology, which often framed their political opponents, particularly leftists and communists, as part of a larger conspiratorial threat posed by Jews and other perceived enemies of the state. They employed propaganda to portray these groups as dangerous and subversive, justifying persecution as a necessary means of protecting the nation.
