c) There was conflict between its Hindu and Muslim populations.

Explanation:

After fighting for independence, India found itself in a very violent religious struggle, where Hindus and Muslims did not accept to share the same territory and live in full union. In 1947, shortly after achieving independence, India was the scene of many riots that established violent attacks on Hindu and Muslim temples, in addition to establishing extreme violence among members of both religions.
