Type- inference
Boil it down - the 2 necessary conditions for violence in Kirkenberg to stop are the majority of surrounding nations must vote for force and the wealthy nation of Nandia must provide funding. But, two of them can't occur at the same time.

(A) Nandia is the wealthiest nation in the region surrounding Kirkenberg. - Incorrect

(B) Violence in Kirkenberg is likely to result in unrest in other countries in the region. - Out of scope - this is too far fetched

(C) It is unlikely that the violence in Kirkenberg will be stopped.- Correct

(D) Most nations surrounding Kirkenberg oppose the current leadership in Nandia. - Incorrect - while this may be true, it need not be true

(E) The peacekeeping forces would not have sufficient equipment without financial support from Nandia.- Out of scope

Answer C
_________________

I went with D using the same logic.

But if you look closely the passage has two conditions (, and is used) which must BOTH be satisfied. First condition is that "majority" of the nations send troops. D tells us that majority may not send, therefore the condition in D is broken.

Easy Q. Need to look at the passage stem carefully.
