Explanation:

Genocide is defined as the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, ethnic, religious, or national group. Option D mentions ethnic factions attempting to systematically destroy each other, which aligns with the definition of genocide. Option A is about pesticides on crops, not group - targeted destruction. Option B is about border disputes between countries, not internal ethnic - based systematic destruction. Option C focuses on lack of external aid during violence, not the nature of the violence as genocide.

D. Ethnic factions attempted to systematically destroy each other.
