Answer 1

The correct option is A Some social difference overlaps other social differences.

When some social difference overlaps other social differences, it is called overlapping social difference. In such cases, people feel that they belong to different communities, leading to one kind of social difference becoming more important than the others in the society. Race and caste are some examples.

People of the different communities may not be able to tolerate each other.
