Model Answer

(B) Abolish tariff barriers and create a unified economic territory

The Zollverein, formed in 1834 at Prussia's initiative, abolished tariff barriers and reduced currencies from over thirty to two, creating a unified economic territory for the free movement of goods, people, and capital.

Source: Chapter 1, Section 2.3 – A New Conservatism after 1815

Explanation

The passage explicitly states the Zollverein "abolished tariff barriers and reduced the number of currencies from over thirty to two," making option (B) directly supported by the text. Options A, C, and D are unrelated to the Zollverein's economic purpose. For MCQs, always quote or closely paraphrase the source to justify your choice.
