A nation state (Option B) is a sovereign state consisting of a single nation, often with a homogeneous culture and language. A racial group (Option C) refers to a group of people who are classified by physical characteristics such as skin color, hair texture, etc. and is not necessarily synonymous with an ethnic group.
