can someone me with this one?

The correct answer is D. During the 1930s, Fascist dictators assumed power in Germany (Hitler), Italy (Mussolini) and Spain (Franco).

The concept of "fascist regime" can be applied to some totalitarian or authoritarian political regimes in interwar Europe and to virtually all those imposed by the Axis powers during their occupation of the continent during World War II: first, fascist Italy of Benito Mussolini (1922), followed by the Germany of the Third Reich of Adolf Hitler (1933) and, closing the cycle, the Spain of Francisco Franco, whose regime lasts much longer (from 1936 to 1975).
