• genocide plausible, but no more than that.

Answer 1

The true statement is: Deported Armenians experienced starvation, violence, and disease.

Brief explanation:
- Eyewitness and archival evidence (survivor accounts, diplomats’ reports, Ottoman records, modern scholarship) document widespread starvation, exposure, massacres, forced marches, and disease among deportees.
- The other options are incorrect: killings and deaths occurred both during the marches and in holding camps (not “only after”); the concentration camps were not “much better” than the marches — they were also lethal and harsh; and the scholarly consensus (supported by extensive documentation) treats the events as genocide, not merely “plausible.”
