Is the answer D?
I don't think so. I've checked two of your guesses. Now you're on your own. Please do not post this question again.
Oh so the answer is B?
No, the correct answer is C. Belgium favoritism toward Tutsis led to resentment by the Hutus.
Belgium's role in Rwanda played a significant part in laying the groundwork for the genocide that took place in 1994. The country was colonized by Belgium in 1916 during the period of European imperialism. Upon arrival, the Belgians identified two major ethnic groups in Rwanda, the Hutus and the Tutsis. The Belgians, who viewed the Tutsis as superior based on physical features such as height and a pastoralist lifestyle, favored them and institutionalized this classification system, creating an identity card system that designated individuals as either Hutu or Tutsi.
This favoritism by the Belgians resulted in the marginalization and discrimination of the Hutus, who became resentful and developed a deep-seated hatred towards the Tutsis. The Belgian colonization deepened the existing ethnic tensions in Rwanda and exacerbated the divide between the two communities.
While Belgium did not directly order or execute the genocide, their policies and actions played a significant role in creating the conditions that led to the mass killing of Tutsis by Hutu extremists in 1994.
