Question

what is one purpose of genocide?○ to create a politically stable government○ to persecute a minority○ to eliminate equal distribution of power in a state○ to end a violent civil war

Explanation:

Genocide is defined as the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, ethnic, religious, or national group. Persecuting and eliminating a minority group is a core, defining purpose of genocide. The other options do not align with the specific intent of genocide: genocide typically destabilizes governments, does not target equal power distribution as its goal, and does not aim to end civil war (it often escalates violence).

Answer:
