The best answer is: "The international community does not have the power to intervene in conflicts within a country."
Reason: genocide is usually carried out by state or powerful non‑state actors inside a country's borders, and international efforts to stop them are often blocked by state sovereignty, lack of political will, UN Security Council vetoes, limited resources, and difficulties of enforcement. While rulers fearing loss of power (option 1) can motivate genocide, the continued occurrence is largely enabled by the international system’s limited ability or willingness to intervene. Option 2 is less relevant today, and option 4 is self-contradictory.
