The most relevant similarity among the independence movements in Ghana, Kenya, and Algeria is **lingering tension from colonial occupation**.
While Ghana was a British colony and achieved independence relatively peacefully through negotiation (which contrasts with the other two examples), both Kenya and Algeria experienced significant violence and conflict during their independence struggles. However, all three countries faced enduring social and political tensions as a result of colonial rule, which significantly influenced their struggles for independence and the situations they faced afterward.
The other options do not apply universally:
1. The refusal of colonial powers to negotiate with independence leaders was more significant in Algeria and Kenya, where violent conflicts emerged, rather than in Ghana, which had a more negotiated transition.
2. While nonviolent protest played a role in many movements, it was not a complete failure in all cases, particularly in Ghana.
3. Not all countries were British colonies; Algeria was a French colony, which distinguishes its independence movement from those of Ghana and Kenya.
Thus, lingering tension from colonial occupation is the most accurate choice.
