Both conflicts are related to confusion over the educational system in America. Both conflicts are related to confusion over Gogol’s birth certificate. Both conflicts are related to confusion over Gogol’s two names.

This question is missing the excerpts. I've found the compete question online. It is as follows:

Read the excerpts from The Namesake.

Excerpt 1: But Gogol doesn’t want a new name. He can’t understand why he has to answer to anything else. “Why do I have to have a new name?” he asks his parents, tears springing to his eyes. It would be one thing if his parents were to call him Nikhil, too. But they tell him that the new name will be used only by the teachers and children at school.

Excerpt 2: Mrs. Lapidus studies the registration form. She has not had to go through this confusion with the other two Indian children. She opens up the folder and examines the immunization record, the birth certificate. “There seems to be some confusion, Mr. Ganguli,” she says. “According to these documents, your son’s legal name is Gogol.”

The statement that best shows how the two conflicts are similar is:

D. Both conflicts are related to confusion over Gogol’s two names.

Explanation:

In the novel "The Namesake" by Jhumpa Lahiri, the main character has two names. His father chose to name him after Russian author Nikolai Gogol. This author and one of his books have special meaning for the father. However, as the time comes for young Gogol to go to school, his parents realize it might be best to give him a name that sounds more conventional. In the first excerpt, Gogol is struggling to accept his new name, especially because his own parents won't be addressing him with it. In the second excerpt, Mrs. Lapidus is unable to understand why the boy introduced to her as Nikhil is actually called Gogol. Therefore, we can safely say that both conflicts are related to confusion over Gogol's two names.
