The correct option is option "C". 

Answer:

C. Wilheim II wanted to end Bismarck's growing influence over German politics

Explanation:

Following unification, Wilhelm II dismissed Bismarck from his position as Chancellor because he wanted control over the foreign policy of Germany.

The result was a complex system of treaty arrangements that finally led to World War I.
