Detailed Solution

None of the given options is caused due to social divisions. Social divisions are mainly caused by discrimination based on religion, caste, gender, creed, etc. Diversity is not harmful to society. The societies' diverse religious beliefs and different linguistic communities make the organisations multilingual and multireligious. But the way they are accepted by society creates differences. Suppose another discriminates against one religion because of different beliefs and ideas. In that case, it creates chaos and divisions in the hearts of people, which sometimes take the form of riots, social conflicts, and killings. Countries like India, where there is vast diversity in every context, face this problem of communal riots and religious conflicts regularly because of our society's caste system and discrimination. The Hindu-Muslim riots are the most common and one of the worst conflicts in our community. Besides this, the caste system leads to the ill-treatment of lower caste people by the upper castes. All these endeavours disturb the order of society and create divisions and differences.
