Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. division.
"Division" refers to a structured separation within a group (e.g., differing opinions, factions forming).
"Split" suggests a physical or abrupt breaking apart (e.g., the company split into two).
We use "division" when talking about disagreements or separations within groups, committees, or organizations.
