Solution

The correct option is D Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland had two main parties: the Unionists and the Nationalists. The Unionists, whose members were Protestants (comprised of almost 53% of Northern Ireland's population), wanted it to remain as a part of the United Kingdom (UK). The Nationalists that comprised of mostly Catholic Christians (44% of Northern Ireland's population) wanted it to be a part of the Republic of Ireland. This conflict was diffused after the UK intervened and a peace treaty called the Good Friday Treaty was signed in 1998.
