The most accurate answer is **A. boundary disputes**.
While there were multiple factors at play, the Iran-Iraq War was significantly influenced by disputes over the Shatt al-Arab waterway and other territorial issues. Additionally, Saddam Hussein sought to assert Iraq's dominance in the region, which was exacerbated by the aftermath of the 1979 Iranian Revolution.
