Answer:

c) Emergence of a group demanding nationhood for the region: traditional security
d) Emergence of a group demanding autonomy for their region: traditional security
e) A newspaper that is critical of the armed forces in the country: Not a threat.
Explanation:
Traditional concept of security concern refers to dangers to a country from military attacks. Another country is a threat to the country on which it attacks. Non-traditional concepts go beyond the military attacks that affect human existence. These are disease, natural disasters and even hunger. So, option a) refers to a disease, so is a non-traditional security concern. Option B is also a threat that is different from a military attack and hence is a non-traditional security concern. Options C and D are a traditional security concern as it involves military matters. Option e) is not a threat.
