What is the seventh step in the Eight-Stage Model of Genocide?

1. Stimulation

2. Organization

3. Preparation

4. Denial

The correct answer is: Denial

The seventh step in the Eight-Stage Model of Genocide is Denial. This is the stage where the perpetrators of the genocide attempt to cover up or deny their actions, often through propaganda or misinformation. This step is important for the perpetrators to avoid accountability and to try and deceive the international community. Option A (Stimulation) is not the correct answer as it does not align with any of the stages in the Eight-Stage Model of Genocide. Option B (Organization) is incorrect as this step comes before Preparation in the model. Option C (Preparation) is incorrect as this step comes before Denial in the model. Therefore, the correct answer is D (Denial), as it is the seventh step and aligns with the purpose of this stage in the Eight-Stage Model of Genocide.
