ANSWER NEEDED ASAP

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. they disagreed about

who should control certain cites and region.

Sunny Muslims and Shiltes are sects of the Islamic faith. (Then the option B. they disagreed about whether Islam should be the country's official religion is wrong).

In 7th century the groups divided their opinion about who should be the successor of Islam's prophet Muhammed. Now days the governme is Islamic, democratic and is a federal parliamentary republic (The option D. They disagreed about the form of government that Iraq should have is wrong).

So early the Sunnis wanted to elect a religious leader because for them Muhammed had left none rightful heir after his death to occupy his place and his followers suggest Abu Bakr as his successor.

(which are only around 15-10%

of Muslim population) fought for All ibn Abi Talib (cousin and son-in-law) announced by Muhammed as his successor, belleving him to be the rightful heir of Muhammed.
