The correct statement is B.

Although the PLO and Hamas are both in conflict with Israel, the PLO has recognized Israel's right to exist, while Hamas wants to eliminate Israel.

Step-by-step explanation:

PLO and Hamas are both in favor of the Palestinian people against the Israel occupation of the Gaza strip and want a separate state for the Palestinians leading the movement for the same, their ways are different.

Hamas is a quasi terrorist organisation while the PLO is a party within the nation that strives to achieve its goals with peace.

The PLO has recognized Israel's right to exist many times and does not want a conflict with them, while Hamas wants to eliminate Israel.

Both the forces want a Palestine with different ideals.
