The best explanation for the split between Sunni and Shia is that it was over D) A disagreement over the leadership of the Islamic world after the death of the prophet Muhammad.

The map is not included but it is accurate that the Shia are a minority in Islam because:

Sunnis comprise 87% - 90% of all Muslims
Shia comprise 10% - 13% of all Muslims

The Shia are therefore heavily outnumbered by the Sunni who have used their dominant position to occasionally marginalize the Shia.

The reason the Shia and the Sunni split was because they could not agree on who would lead the Muslims after the Prophet Muhammed died. Sunni wanted a man named Abu Bakr to lead and the Shia wanted Ali ibn Abi Ṭalib.

In conclusion, Islam has two main denominations which are the Sunni and the Shia but the Sunni outnumber of Shia who had split from the Sunni because they could not accept their choice for Muhammed's successor.
