B. a rift between the king and Parliament
C. the loss of British colonies
D. war in India and East Africa
The correct answer is A, as during the reign of King George V, a civil war in Ireland disrupted Great Britain.
George inherited the throne at a politically turbulent time. The previous year, the House of Lords, dominated by conservatives and unionists, rejected the budget proposal of David Lloyd George, then Minister of Finance, which introduced new taxes that affected wealthy people to finance social welfare programs, leading the contrary to the usual convention that lords did not veto budgets. The liberal prime minister, H. H. Asquith, had asked the previous king to give him guarantees to appoint enough liberal lords to force the approval of the budget through the chamber. Edward had reluctantly agreed, as long as the lords rejected the budget after two successive elections. After the general elections of January 1910, the Conservative lords approved the budget.
The general elections of 1910 left the Liberals as a minority government dependent on the support of the Irish nationalists. As a reward for the support, Asquith introduced legislation that would give autonomous government to Ireland, but the conservatives and unionists opposed it. The mood was warmed by the Home Rule proposal, which would not be possible without the respective law of Parliament, relations between the old Knollys and the Conservatives became tense and this was driven to retreat. Desperate to avoid the prospect of a civil war in Ireland between unionists and nationalists, George convened a meeting of all parties at Buckingham Palace in July 1914, in an attempt to negotiate an agreement. The agreement ended on September 18, 1914, when the king - having considered vetoing the legislation - gave his consent to the law of the autonomous government, but his execution was postponed due to the outbreak of the First World War.
The political turmoil in Ireland continued when the nationalists began the struggle for independence; George expressed his horror at the killings approved by the government and the reprisals against Prime Minister David Lloyd George. At the opening session of the Northern Ireland Parliament on June 22, 1921, the King called for conciliation. A few days later a truce was agreed. The negotiations between Great Britain and the Irish secessionists led to the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty. At the end of 1922 Ireland was divided, the Irish Free State was established and Lloyd George left the government.

“I was quite alright last night, my parents know about it, perhaps better than me, I had a small symptom of it last night already. They must have noticed it. I don't know why I didn't let you know at work! But you always think you can get over an illness without staying at home.”
…
He spent the whole night there. Some of the time he passed in a light sleep, although he frequently woke from it in alarm because of his hunger, and some of the time was spent in worries and vague hopes which, however, always led to the same conclusion: for the time being he must remain calm, he must show patience and the greatest consideration so that his family could bear the unpleasantness that he, in his present condition, was forced to impose on them.
…
Whatever was said next would be crucial, so, in order to make his voice as clear as possible, he coughed a little, but taking care to do this not too loudly as even this might well sound different from the way that a human coughs and he was no longer sure he could judge this for himself. Meanwhile, it had become very quiet in the next room. Perhaps his parents were sat at the table whispering with the chief clerk, or perhaps they were all pressed against the door and listening.
The correct answer is C.
