Question

what factor led to the death of malcolm x in 1965?
○ violent actions and protests were organized by malcolm x and his followers.
○ he rejected his old beliefs in the islamic religion.
○ there were growing tensions between malcolm x and the nation of islam.
○ he promoted his belief in the separation of the races.

Explanation:

Malcolm X's 1965 assassination was tied to his public break with the Nation of Islam, which created severe, violent tensions between him and the organization's leadership and members. The other options are incorrect: he did not reject Islamic faith entirely, he shifted away from racial separation later in his life, and his own protests were not the cause of his death.

Answer:

There were growing tensions between Malcolm X and the Nation of Islam.
