Correct Answer:

Nation-state

Explanation:

The form of the state that emerged along with capitalism is the nation-state.

The nation-state is characterized by a political entity where the state governs a territory defined by specific geographical boundaries and is inhabited by people who share a common identity, culture, language, and history (the nation). This concept of the nation-state became prominent during the rise of capitalism, particularly in Europe, as it provided a framework for organizing political power and economic activity within a defined territory.
