The correct answer is: there were growing tensions between Malcolm X and the Nation of Islam.

Explanation

The factor that led to the death of Malcolm X in 1965 was the growing tensions between Malcolm and the Nation of Islam because there was a tense relationship between Malcolm and Elijah Muhammad about the political directions of the Nation of Islam.

Malcolm was a Muslim and wanted the Nation to become more active in the advancement of civil rights protest and not being only a critic on the sidelines. Therefore, after many threats and the tension kept growing, he was finally killed by members of a Muslim group in 1965.
