The answer is:

B) each country was responsible for managing its own affairs.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire was a constitutional monarchy created in 1867, in which the two kingdoms of Austria and Hungary were ruled by the same monarch: Franz Joseph I. Each separate state had their own parliament and distinct governmental powers, although both shared the same ministries of war, Finance and Foreign Affairs.
