The correct option is c): make German leaders accountable for the Holocaust.

The Nuremberg trials took place between 1945 and 1949 in Nuremberg, Germany. The defendants included German military leaders, Nazi Party officials and adepts to the Nazi Party such as doctors and lawyers.

Grave charges including crimes against humanity and peace were brought against these people.
