a. both wars were conflicts between two major superpowers.

b. both wars caused fascist groups to seize power in europe.

c. both wars were fought across multiple continents.

d. both wars resulted in major worldwide economic depressions.

Explanation:

• Option A: WWI was fought between allied power blocs, not two superpowers; the superpower dynamic emerged post-WWII.
• Option B: Fascist groups seized power in Europe between WWI and WWII, not as a result of both wars.
• Option C: WWI saw fighting in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia; WWII was fought in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Pacific, so both were multi-continental conflicts.
• Option D: WWI contributed to economic crises, but a global major depression occurred before WWII, not as a result of it; WWII actually lifted many nations out of the Great Depression.

Answer:

C. Both wars were fought across multiple continents.
