Answer 1

Answer:

D. Ethnic groups were divided into countries and continued to fight over the resources instead of cooperating to use them efficiently. ​

Explanation:

Ethnic conflict arises if ethnic groups compete for the same goal—notably power, access to resources, or territory. ... Ethnic identity is created by social interactions between individuals and groups and remains therefore beyond a person's choice, but it is subject to change if the social conditions change.
