Answer 1

Hi. Your question is incomplete. Which makes it very difficult for it to be answered. However, given the context of the answer options, we can consider that this question is referring to the result of Otto von Bismarck's request that greater financial funds be released to the military in 1862. If that is your case, I hope that the answer below can help you.

Answer:

D. The legislature refused to approve funds for the military, prompting Bismarck to divert money approved for other purposes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Otto von Bismarck called for greater financial funds for the military. He believed that with better wages and more technological equipment, the Prussian army would be more promising in pursuing Prussian liberalism and fighting German forces. However, this request was denied, but Bismarck was so sure in his thinking that he misappropriated money to the military, even though it was a crime.
