It would be D. Muslim Turks thought Christian Armenians were supporting Russia. The Turks also sees the Armenians as more loyal to christian nations like Russia and in case such events they would more likely to side to the christian countries. Also during the World War I, some Armenians joined the Russian Army in fighting against the Turks in the regions of Caucasus that drive the push of removal of the Armenians.
