Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Hitler used anti - Semitic propaganda, scapegoating Jewish people for Germany's economic woes and WWI defeat. This played on the frustrations of Germans and helped him gain support.
• Option 2: Hitler was anti - Semitic and would not appoint Jewish people to office to work with the opposition. This is contrary to his ideology.
• Option 3: There is no historical basis for Hitler preventing Jewish citizens from relocating to Palestine as a means to keep opponents from power. His focus was on persecuting Jews, not controlling their relocation for this reason.
• Option 4: Hitler was anti - Semitic, and German Jewish people would not vote for him. His policies were hostile towards them.

Answer:

A. Hitler scapegoated German Jewish people by blaming them for Germany’s bad economy and defeat in World War I.
