C) Marxism and socialism called for public control of production, while democracy and capitalism called for private control of production

Explanation:

The Marxism and socialism are systems where the basis are set around government and public control of everything in the country, including the economy, thus the production of goods. On the other hand, the democracy and capitalism have their basis set around private control of all the sectors (apart from the governmental ones), including the production of goods. This led to two streams that were total opposite, as one side there are systems that are very restrictive and closed, while on the other side there are systems that are very free and open. This led to a situation of global tensions and even conflicts unfortunately.
