Answer:

C. is a response to the threat posed by cultural integration

Step-by-step explanation:

Religious fundamentalism is defined as the belief of an individual or a group of people in the one and only authority of a sacred religious text or teachings of a particular religious leader, teacher, prophet, pastor and/or god.

From the above definition, it can be deduced that all religions have their fundamentalist (people who carry out religious fundamentalism). We have Christian fundamentalist, jewish, hindu, and so on.

There has been a lot of decline in recent times to some of these religions in terms of population. This is majorly due to the cultural exchange in which one group assumes the beliefs, practices, and other practices of other groups (cultural integration). This decline in recent times has led to the rise of religious fundamentalism. There is said to exist a negative relationship between culture and religions.
