Solution

The correct option is C Terrorism
Terrorism involves the use or threat of violence and seeks to create fear among a wide audience. The hope of the terrorist is that the sense of terror these acts engender will induce the population to pressure political leaders toward a specific political end. The victims of terrorist violence are most often innocent civilians. State sponsored terrorism refers to the government support for non-violent actors engaged in terrorism. States invariably seek to disavow their active complicity in such acts, both to evade international censure and to avoid political and military retribution.
