Solution

The correct option is D Ethno-political
The conflicts which were prevalent in Northern Ireland for a long time were Ethno-political. As most of the population of this region belonged to the Christian community but they were divided into two major sects of this religion. Due to the interference of political parties in this conflict, this conflict had been converted into Ethno-political conflict. One group of this religion that was Protestants was supported by the Unionist and another group that was Roman Catholic was supported by the Nationalist parties.
