Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Nationalism also spread through emotions and symbols
A nation is an abstract political community, so artists represented it through recognisable figures such as Marianne in France or Germania in Germany. The female allegory gave the nation a human form and encouraged emotional identification, unity, and public imagination. Option B is correct because nationalism worked through images, symbols, and feelings as well as political ideas. The other options reduce it incorrectly to military power, taxation, or royal dynasties.
