I believe B is your correct answer. I vaguely remember reading about Italy lately so I think That's it. Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

The correct answer is: The country was weak and frustrated with democratic rule.

Benito Mussolini was able to establish his control over Italy due to the turbulent post-war the country was facing. The political elites feared comunism, the working class sought better opportunities, and all this led to a social chaos, which was when Mussolini struck his power and initiated his Fascist Italy project.
