The correct option is:

A. A new wave of nationalism.

Throughout the 19th-century, a strong nationalist sentiment was used to justify the imperialism that directly contributed to major changes through their promotion of racism and competition between the nation-states that had arisen. In the Age of Imperialism, European industrializing nations got involved in the process of colonizing other parts of the world.
