C. wartime reparations and hyperinflation
Germany was forced to pay reparations for the damages caused during World War 1, which put a significant strain on their economy. In order to meet these payments, the German government resorted to printing more money, leading to hyperinflation. This caused the value of the German currency to plummet, making it nearly worthless.
