Explanation
Answer: C - The Nuremberg Laws legally defined Jewish identity as including anybody with at least one Jewish grandparent, and institutionalized discrimination.

These laws marked the initial stage of what would become the Holocaust, Hitler's attempts to completely annihilate the Jews of Europe.
