Explanation:

Gavrilo Princip, a Serbian nationalist, assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand (heir to the Austro - Hungarian throne) to promote Serbian nationalism and the unification of South Slavic peoples. Nationalism (one of the M.A.I.N. causes - Militarism, Alliances, Imperialism, Nationalism) was the driving force here. Militarism is about the glorification of military power, alliances are about mutual defense pacts, and imperialism is about colonial expansion—none of these directly motivated this assassination as nationalism did.

D. nationalism
