Answer:

A - success among Jewish intellectuals & business class leaders led to suspicion

Step-by-step explanation:

After World War 1, Germany was forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles, which took a lot of money and land away from Germany, leaving the country in an economic depression. Once Hitler rose to power, he blamed Jewish people for the economic depression.
