To answer this question, we need to analyze the information provided in the excerpt from "Judgment: The Seizure of Czechoslovakia." Specifically, we need to identify how the Sudeten Germans in Czechoslovakia were significant to the "Czech question" described in the excerpt.
The excerpt does not directly state that the Sudeten Germans were significant in a military or strategic sense. It does not mention their usefulness as military forces or their strategic location. Therefore, options B and C can be eliminated.
The excerpt does mention that the Sudeten Germans inhabited an area known as the Sudetenland. It also states that Hitler would invade and annex this area for the Germans. This information supports option D, which states that the Sudeten Germans were significant because Hitler planned to invade and annex the Sudetenland as part of Nazi occupation of Europe. Thus, the correct answer based on the information provided in the excerpt is option D.
