Explanation:

George Orwell's Animal Farm is an allegorical novel. It uses the story of animals on a farm to represent real - world events. The Russian Revolution (1917) led to the rise of a new regime, but over time, elements of totalitarianism emerged. In the novel, the animals overthrow their human master (like the overthrow of the old regime in the Russian Revolution), but then some animals (like the pigs) become tyrannical (representing totalitarian aspects).

Answer:

B) The Russian Revolution and totalitarianism
