(B) fear of a two-front war against France and Russia

Explanation:

Germany had plans to attack Russia but they knew that France would honour its alliance with Russia. This will result in France and Russia liaising to fight Germany. This made Germany always afraid and decided to increase its military spending to get ready and prepared for the both countries.

Germany's constant fear in the 19th and 20th centuries which led to increased military spending was the threat of a two-front war against France and Russia.
