Answer: D. end because the activities have alienated people

Explanation: The key word, from the quotation, to selecting an answer, is "demise" which means "come to an end". This leaves only two options: C and D, as options A and B suggest the strengthening or worsening of terrorism. The quotation deals with crimes against humanity, which tends to target a specific group (s) that others can identify with, making them feel alienated. Thus, not only is the action taken against those who were targeted directly, but everyone who identifies with them, having a much more far-reaching affect.
