Solution

The correct option is B Communal violence
When violence is perpetrated along religious lines, it is called communal violence. It can take the form of riots and massacres. India and Pakistan suffered some of the worst communal riots at the time of the Partition. Communal violence was a defining feature of politics in post-independent India. It further disrupts the cohesiveness in society and dampens constitutional values like secularism and fraternity.
