Final answer:

According to Hitler, a Jew and an Aryan having children would produce inferior offspring, as per the discriminatory ideologies and policies of the Nuremberg Laws implemented under the Nazi regime.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Hitler's ideology, if a Jew and an Aryan were to marry and have children, they would produce inferior offspring. Under the Nazi regime, particularly with the implementation of the Nuremberg Laws in 1935, such marriages were prohibited. These laws were a part of Hitler's broader racial policy that sought to maintain the purity of the "master race" by preventing intermarriage between Jews and non-Jews, who were considered Aryans. The Nuremberg Laws deprived Jews of German citizenship and introduced many other discriminatory practices that sought to segregate and disenfranchise Jews, eventually leading to the Holocaust, where approximately 6 million European Jews were murdered. In keeping with Hitler's belief in the superiority of the Aryan race, any offspring of mixed heritage were seen as diluting the purity of the Germanic race and thus were regarded as undermining the Nazi goal of racial purity. Consequently, the correct answer to this question is b) They would produce inferior offspring.
