Answer 1

The correct option is D Overlapping may create deep social divisions and tensions where as cross cutting is easier to accommodate

• Social division takes place when some social difference overlaps with other differences.
• If social differences cross-cut one another, it is difficult to pit one group of people against the other. It means that groups that share a common interest on one issue are likely to be in different sides on a different issue.
