Explanation:
Option 1 is eliminated because it states that ‘internal conflicts’ are found in serious literature. Option 2 states that ‘internal conflict is widely prevalent in society. Option 4 talks about threat to the reader (which is ridiculous). None of these will address the query why internal conflicts are more interesting than external conflicts. Answer is derived from: “Psychologically, most interesting situations arise when the interests of the players are partly coincident and partly opposed, because then one can postulate not only a conflict among the players but also inner conflicts within the players. Each is torn between a tendency to cooperate, so as to promote the common interests, and a tendency to compete, so as to enhance his own individual interests.” Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
