  1. astate racismdes staatlichen RassismusCorrect answer
  2. bfreedom of expressionder Meinungsfreiheit
  3. cgeneral freedom of religionder allgemeinen Religionsfreiheit
  4. ddeveloping democracyder Entwicklung der Demokratie

Why?

The Nazi state made racism law: people were divided according to a supposed “race”, and Jews and other groups were deprived of their rights, persecuted and murdered. One example is the Nuremberg Laws (Nürnberger Gesetze) of 1935. Freedom of expression, freedom of religion and democracy did not exist in this dictatorship.
