Explanation:

The Bolsheviks faced an advancing White Army, which opposed their rule. They feared that if Tsar Nicholas II was rescued or joined the White Army, he would become a unifying symbol for anti-Bolshevik forces, helping them defeat the Bolshevik government led by Lenin. The second option is not a historically accurate reason for his assassination.

Answer:

A. The White Army (the army against the Bolsheviks and Lenin) were approaching and they feared that Tsar Nicholas II would help the White Army defeat the Bolsheviks (Lenin).
