Ariana Chang · Answer 1

The answer is d)

Explanation:

A nation state is a state in which the people share the same culture or are aware that there is a common culture. In the case of the french, they reorganized the Gascons, Burgundians and Parisian into one people because they had a similar culture and they could all identify under the French banner. As a consequence of this unification a nation state was formed.
