Accepted Answer

## Model Answer **(B) People of different religions cannot live as equal citizens in one nation.** ## Explanation The textbook explicitly states: *"In its extreme form, communalism leads to the belief that people belonging to different religions cannot live as equal citizens within one nation."* This is a direct lift from the passage — memorise it exactly. Options A and D describe secular/democratic ideals, while C describes Gandhiji's moderate view of religion in politics, not communalism.
