The correct option is C 3 only
Communalism is an ideology that arises due to religious pluralism. When religion becomes the basis of a government or a nation, it gives rise to communal politics. The differences between two religious communities is exploited to incite hatred and violence. In such situations, communal politics can be a catalyst to political and social tensions in the state. Communal violence are conjectural consequences of communal ideology. It occurs when the interests of two religious communities become incompatible, antagonist, and hostile.
