Why was the middle class influenced during Hitler's rise?

Because of economic insecurity and desire for stability

The German middle class was strongly affected by the economic and political crisis after the First World War. Inflation, unemployment, falling incomes, and fear of losing savings or social position created insecurity. Many middle-class people wanted order, stable government, and protection from further economic decline. Nazi promises of national recovery and strong leadership therefore appeared attractive to some of them, even though Nazi rule later brought dictatorship and persecution.

Option A is correct because it connects middle-class support with economic insecurity and the desire for stability. Options B and D are opposite to the historical situation: Germany was facing serious crisis, not prosperity. Option C is also wrong because Hitler did not leave politics; he actively used political organisation, propaganda, and elections to gain power.
