You would have to say either this:

or this:
"When nationalism rears its head in China, the country's neighbours tremble.

A. & D. are sentence beginnings, starting with capital letters and ending with commas.
B. & E. are sentence endings, starting with small letters and ending with periods.
D. may be completed by either B. or E. You may prefer one over the other for con
