Correct answer: A
The direct answer is A, popular majority politics can increase social division. S. W. R. D. Bandaranaike became Sri Lanka’s prime minister and promoted “Sinhala Only” as the official language in 1956. The policy gave preference to the Sinhala-speaking majority and caused serious resentment among Tamil-speaking minorities, contributing to ethnic tension. Step by step: a leader uses majority-based language politics; minority groups feel excluded; mistrust and conflict can grow. Option A is correct because it expresses this leadership risk. Option B, “language policy always brings peace,” is too absolute and is contradicted by the Sri Lankan experience. Option C, “minority questions have no importance,” is wrong because ignoring minorities can deepen injustice and conflict. Option D, “nationalism is always tension free,” is also absolute and false; nationalism can unite people but can also exclude others. Exam cue: fair, inclusive policy reduces division; majoritarian policy may increase it.
