Answer:

Correct answer is C) iconoclasm.

Explanation:

Hello!

Iconoclasm involves the destruction of symbols, images or sculptures that are considered sacred, for religious or political reasons. Generally, destruction of the images is accompanied by the physical persecution of those who revered them.

Iconoclasm can occur both among members belonging to two different religions, and between two different factions within the same religion.
