Answer:

B Hitler encouraged his supporters to believe they were racially superior to others.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hitler's version of fascism: nazism, had a stronger focus on racial superiority. The center of the nazi ideology was the idea that the German people were racially superior to other peoples like the Slavs, the Jews, or the Gypsies. For this reason, Hitler believed that the Germans had the right to enslave, or slaughter, these "inferior populations", and occupy their lands. This idea is what eventually led to the start of World War II.

Mussolini's original fascism was more focused on Italian nationalism, and territorial expansion, and even historical nostalgia, because Mussolini promoted the image of Ancient Rome to envigorate the Italian People.
