Answer:

The correct answer is A. The statement expresses the viewpoint of Niccolò Machiavelli.

Explanation:

Niccolò Machiavelli was an Italian humanist thinker of the Renaissance, born May 3, 1469 in Florence, Italy, the city where he died on June 21, 1527. He was during fourteen years official of the Florentine Republic for which he carried out several diplomatic missions, in particular near the papacy and the court of France. During all these years, he closely observed the mechanics of power and the game of competing ambitions.

A leading political philosopher, he is one of the founders of modern politics and his writings will inspire several great state theorists, notably Jean Bodin, Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, as well as a renewed interest in the concept conscription, very significant during the Roman Republic. His desire to separate politics from morality and religion also deeply marks political philosophy.

Politics at home are characterized by movement, violent break-ups and conflict. While the use of force is a clearly accepted possibility, politics also requires rhetorical skills in order to convince others. Finally, it demands that politicians resort to virtue, one of the key concepts of his thinking, which designates skill, individual power and flair, making it possible to overcome the blind force of bad fortune and to innovate. so that the state can face the challenges that arise.
