When can the feeling of national identity become a cause of conflict?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When it begins to deny the identity and rights of other communities
National identity can create solidarity, but the governing concept is narrow or exclusionary nationalism. Conflict becomes more likely when one group treats its own identity as superior and denies other communities recognition, equal rights or political belonging. Option A correctly identifies that mechanism. Options B, C and D describe inclusive conditions that generally support peaceful coexistence rather than create conflict, so they cannot be the best answer.
