Answer:

D. Imperialism.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, Imperialism is, quote "a policy of extending a country's power & influence through diplomacy or force".

In this case, Germany uses force, as exemplified by the following quotes:

"Germany began taking over other countries." (General)

"... Germany invaded Poland in 1939..." (Specific)

Therefore, D. Imperialism is your answer.
