The best choice that represents evidence of religious tension in South Asia is:

Pakistani government attacking East Pakistan

This conflict, which led to the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971, involved significant religious and ethnic tensions between the predominantly Muslim population of West Pakistan (now Pakistan) and the mostly Bengali Muslim population of East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). The cultural and political differences, as well as the perceived neglect and oppression from the West Pakistani government, fueled these tensions.
