Which of the following best expresses the CAUSE of Kristallnacht?

Kristallnacht was an event led by Hitler and his personal officers in order to clear the Nazi party of opposition in the early days of Hitler's reign.

Kristallnacht happened when many German businessmen decided they wanted to take the Jewish businesses for themselves. As violence spread, the synagogues were also targeted.

Though they had been looking for an opportunity for a long time, the Nazi party used the murder of a German diplomat by a Polish Jew to incite German soldiers and citizens to attack Jewish businesses and synagogues.

A part of the official document outlining "the Final Solution", Kristallnacht began after residents of the Warsaw Ghetto launched an uprising against the Nazis.

A section of a city, separated or walled off from the rest of the citizens, which is used to hold Jews of the area while they wait to see if they will be taken to a camp or not.
