Answer 2

Answer:

d. Lebanon

Explanation:

Although Lebanon is now in a much better situation than it was a few years ago, it still has not fully recovered from its civil war, which lasted from 1975 to 1990. The war resulted in approximately 120,000 fatalities and almost one million people left the country. The main reason for this was was the loss of a balance of power among all the different sectarian groups in the country. This became a particularly difficult problem as the establishment of the state of Israel and the displacement of Palestinians led to the increase of the Muslim population in the country, threatening the power of the Christian elites.
