B is correct. C and others are remote causes while B is what are actually led to the riot immediately.
(i) The 1953 motion for self-government in 1956 brought a disagreement and a strained relationship between the Northern and Southern political leaders.
(ii) This disagreement and strained relationship led to the booing and jeering of Northern leaders in the parliament.
(iii) The Northerners decided to retaliate the booing and jeering of their leaders in Lagos.
