Solution

The correct option is A Regionalism
Regionalism refers to the assertion of regional, linguistic or ethnic identities by a group of people. In India, it is commonly observed among groups that identify more with their region or state rather than the nation. Thus, it is a multidimensional phenomenon as it is a complex amalgam of geographical, historical, cultural, economic, politico-administrative and psyche factors. Regionalism has an adverse effect on uniting the people of the nation as one. However, in instances where regionalism isn’t extreme or too radical, it could have a good influence on society.
