The answer is B) Machiavelli effectively argues that new princes must be cruel and cautious in order to protect their new kingdoms.
The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli is a political book in which the author describes the duties and responsibilities of a prince.
The author argues about the virtues of a new prince and one among them is cruelty.
He says that the new prince should not be compassionate to his subjects, because when the king is compassionate, the subjects are prone to make more mistakes and kingdom will be destroyed.
So the king should be careful in being cruel and it should be accompanied by humanity.
