Rise of fundamentalism in Afghanistan is largely due to

  • A.Poverty
  • B.Religious extremism of Islam
  • C.Illiteracy
  • D.Pastoral economy

Answer: B

The key gives the religious extremism of Islam as the main reason for the rise of fundamentalism in Afghanistan. The Mujahideen resistance to the Soviet occupation was organised on religious lines with outside support, and the Taliban movement that followed rested on a strict reading of the faith.

Poverty, illiteracy and a pastoral economy are the social conditions of the country, but they are not what gave rise to the fundamentalist movements, so the second option is correct.
