Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The walls break the world "into fragments". What breaks a society into pieces is the division of people into groups that keep apart.
"Narrow" suggests narrow-mindedness, and "domestic" places the walls inside a society rather than between nations.
Worth noting
Borders between countries would be the opposite of "domestic", which here means inside one country or society.
