Why was creating an enemy image useful in Nazi propaganda?

It organised people through fear and hatred

An enemy image gives a government a target to blame for social, economic, or political problems. Nazi propaganda repeatedly described selected groups as threats to the nation. This encouraged people to fear and hate those groups, while making loyalty to the Nazi movement appear like a form of national protection. Emotional mobilisation replaced reasoned discussion and equal treatment.

Option C is correct because creating an enemy organised people through fear and hatred. It did not strengthen human equality, increase democratic dialogue, or stop war. Instead, it helped justify discrimination, repression, and eventually violence. The educational lesson is that propaganda can make prejudice seem patriotic and can help an authoritarian regime gain support by dividing society.
