Question

otto von bismarck was appointed of germany by king wilhelm i in 1871. the options for the blank are: chancellor, kaiser, religous leader, king.

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall historical facts: Otto von Bismarck was appointed chancellor of Germany by King Wilhelm I in 1871. "Kaiser" was the title of the emperor (Wilhelm I became Kaiser), "religious leader" does not fit Bismarck's role, and "king" was Wilhelm I's title, not Bismarck's.

Answer:

A. chancellor
