Passage-1

What climate change will undeniably do is cause or amplify events that hasten the reduction of resources. Competition over these diminishing resources would ensue in the form of political or even violent conflict. Resource-based conflicts have rarely been overt and are thus difficult to isolate. Instead, they take on veneers that appear more politically palatable. Conflicts over resources like water are often cloaked in the guise of identity or ideology.

What does the above passage imply?

(A) Resource-based conflicts are always politically motivated.

(B) There are no political solutions to resolve environmental and resource-based conflicts.

(C) Environmental issues contribute to resource stresses and political conflict.

(D) Political conflict based on identity or ideology cannot be resolved.
