Answer 1

a. Serbs wanted to unify all of the Slavic countries of the Balkan Peninsula with the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Answer 2

c. Serbs wanted the Slavic areas of Austria-Hungary to separate from the empire and become a part of Serbia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Serbian nationalists promoted the liberation from Austria -Hungary and wanted to unify Serbs present in the different Balkan nations.

Although they did not want to confront the large multinational Empire of Austria, they sought independent states. A wave of so-called pan Slavism was promoting unity between all Slavic peoples.

Serbia was one of the most active in nationalist and political radical parties encouraged the feelings of a unified Serbia.

Serbia was an independent nation supporting its neighbouring Slavic partners to embrace nationalism as a state nation.

Serbia had strong support from the largest empire -The Russian Empire.

These nationalistic tendencies would spark to bring about World War I in the Balkans, an often contested and already unstable region.
