The demand for a large national market was most closely linked with which social change?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Rise of the merchant and industrial middle class
The governing concept is liberal nationalism and the creation of a unified market. Industrialisation strengthened merchants, manufacturers and professionals, who faced internal customs duties, different rules and small regional markets. They therefore demanded one national market for easier movement of goods and capital. Option A is correct because it identifies the social group that benefited most directly. The other options do not explain this economic demand.
