Explanation:

The Rwandan genocide's indirect cause is rooted in post-colonial ethnic tensions. Colonial powers (notably Belgium) exacerbated divisions between Hutu and Tutsi groups, which persisted and escalated post-independence, contributing to the 1994 genocide. Option A refers to economic issues not the key indirect cause; Option C is unrelated to genetic illness narratives; Option D describes decolonization conflicts, not the specific ethnic tensions driving the genocide.

Answer:

B. post-colonial tensions between the Hutu and Tutsi ethnic groups
