Why did merchants and industrialists consider national unity economically useful?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it could create a large common market.
Political fragmentation created separate regulations, currencies or customs barriers that made commerce costly and uncertain. National unity could bring a larger common market, more predictable rules and easier movement of goods and capital. These conditions benefited merchants and industrialists by expanding sales and production. Options B, C and D would harm rather than support commercial and industrial growth.
