Complete answer:
During the 1930s, a global crisis took place in which there was a significant worldwide economic depression. Germany was hit really hard by this. This led to the collapse of banks and the shutdown of businesses, the loss of workers' employment and the prospect of destitution among the middle classes. As politics began to crumble for the above reasons, Hitler took advantage of it and Nazism became a mass movement.

Statement I: Nazism became a mass movement in Germany after the Great Depression.
The Nazis were unable to gain traction until the early 1930s. It was during the Great Depression that a mass movement became Nazism. In 1928, the Nazis won no more than 2-6 per cent of the votes in the German parliament’s Reich stage. By 1932, with 37% of the vote, it had become the biggest party.

Statement II: After 1929, banks collapsed and businesses shut down, workers lost their jobs and middle classes were threatened with destitution. Banks failed after 1929 and industries shut down, employees lost their jobs, and destitution was threatened by the middle classes. Nazi propaganda stirred expectations for a better future in such a situation. Financial crises also played a very important role.

Option A is not the correct option because both Statements are true.
Option B is not the correct option because both Statements are true.
Option C is the correct option and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I.
Option D is wrong because Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I.

Therefore, the correct answer is C
