The correct answer is (c) A is correct, but R is wrong.

• The Enabling Act of 1935 gave the authority to Reich to issue laws without the consent of the German parliament.
• Reich is a german word that was earlier used to refer to the German realm.
• Thus the act gave the power to establish control over the country's economy, military powers, and communication and media.
• The Nazi Party came to rule Germany by taking advantage of this act. Thus dictatorship was established.
• The Enabling Act also banned all political parties and trade unions except for the Nazi Party.
