(A) Building more dams for electricity vs. protecting tribal land from submersion
These are conflicting goals because industrialists want dams for electricity, but this submerges tribal land and disrupts their lives.
Source: What Development Promises — Different People, Different Goals, Chapter 1
The textbook explicitly states this example: "to get more electricity, industrialists may want more dams. But this may submerge the land and disrupt the lives of people who are displaced – such as tribals." Options B, C, and D are complementary goals, not conflicting ones. Always look for the pair where one group's gain is another's loss.
