The correct choice is: **A. The international community immediately responded to 9/11 but did not react to Rwanda until after the genocide, largely due to differences in geography, culture, and political systems.**
This option accurately reflects the significant differences in international responses to the two events. The Rwandan genocide, which took place between April and July 1994, was characterized by the international community's inaction, despite clear warnings and evidence of mass atrocities. Many factors, including the geographic and cultural context, as well as the political dynamics of the time, contributed to this lack of intervention.
In contrast, the 9/11 attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001, prompted immediate and decisive international action, including military responses and global cooperation in counter-terrorism efforts. The scale and immediacy of the attacks, combined with extensive media coverage, galvanized a swift international reaction, leading to widespread changes in security policies around the world.
