Which race was placed at the top in the Nazi worldview?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Nordic German Aryans
The governing concept is the Nazi racial hierarchy, an explicitly racist and false ideology rather than a scientific classification. Nazi leaders claimed that a supposedly Nordic German Aryan population stood at the top of their imagined hierarchy. They used this claim to justify unequal treatment, exclusion, persecution and aggressive policies against groups they labelled inferior, including Jews, Roma and many Slavic peoples. Therefore option B is correct. The other options were not placed at the top in Nazi ideology; Jews and Roma were especially targeted, while Slavs were also treated as supposedly inferior. These beliefs had no valid scientific basis.
