Answer:

C

Tensions between Venezuelan immigrants and Brazilian residents increase as more immigrants cross the border.

Explanation:

The central idea of the passage is the increased tension between Venezuelan immigrants and Brazilian residents.

The Brazilian citizens took law into their hand and chased back over a thousand Venezuelan immigrants after the alleged attack on a local store owner by suspected Venezuelan immigrants.

The residents chased the immigrants out of town, destroyed their tents, burned thir clothes and other belongings.

The Brazilian army was sent to restore order at the border after that incident.
