Answer 1

The correct option is B Only (III) is true.

Social differences may or may not lead to social divisions in society.
When social differences overlap, they might lead to a social division. For instance, the Black Americans in the USA were discriminated, and this led to most of them being poor and homeless in the USA.
The Dalits in India were treated as untouchables. This discrimination led to a social division, and most of the Dalits in India are poor, illiterate and homeless due to this discrimination.
Thus, option 2 is the correct answer.
