The correct option is A Communalism

In popular discourse in India, it is understood as an unhealthy attachment to one’s own religion. Communalism promotes intolerance and hatred against other religions. It has been used as a political propaganda tool to create divide, differences and tensions between the communities on the basis of religious and ethnic identity.
