Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is : D. Sibling rivalry taken to an extreme

Explanation: Sugriva asks Rama to help him defeat his brother Bali. Sugriva tells Rama to shoot Bali with an arrow. Rama gives Sugriva a flower necklace to distinguish him from his brother Bali, because the first time Sugriva and Bali fought, Rama could not use his arrow against Bali, because Rama did not distinguish the brothers and did not want to hit the wrong one .
