The correct answer should be A. Reaction to Enlightenment ideals and the revolutions those ideals inspired

Romanticism came as a reaction to enlightenment. The ideas of nationality and homeland started developing more and a pride in being a member of a country started growing. This led to numerous new revolutions since people wanted to be independent and have their own countries and countries like Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire lost huge amounts of influence.
