C - it contributed to future conflict.

The Balfour Declaration, issued in 1917, supported the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine but also stated that the rights of existing non-Jewish communities should not be prejudiced. This dual promise contributed to tensions and conflicts between Jewish and Arab populations in the region, leading to decades of dispute and violence over national identity and territorial claims.
