Correct answer: c
Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa in June 1941 primarily to destroy the Soviet Union as an ideological enemy and to seize its vast resources (grain, oil, metals) and "Lebensraum" in Eastern Europe to secure Germany’s long‑term war economy. The other choices are incorrect: (a) and (b) misstate timing and aims (Barbarossa was an eastern, not western, offensive after much of Western Europe was already subdued), and (d) is anachronistic (the Battle of the Bulge occurred in late 1944).
