What do the so-called "Stolpersteine" (stumbling stones) in Germany commemorate?

Why — for every option

1. A — Stolpersteine do not commemorate politicians but individual victims of Nazi persecution.
2. B — Correct: Stolpersteine are small brass plaques set in front of the last freely chosen residence, commemorating individual victims of National Socialism — Jews, Sinti and Roma, the politically persecuted and other groups.
3. C — Stolpersteine have nothing to do with road accident victims; the project is dedicated to the culture of remembrance of the Nazi era.
4. D — Stolpersteine do not commemorate musicians specifically, but very different people from all sections of the population who were persecuted by the Nazi regime.
