The correct answer is

sentiment

National integration is described as something that "binds together all people" regardless of religion, caste or language — i.e., an abstract unifying feeling. The word that captures this is sentiment, meaning a shared feeling or emotional attitude.

"Resources," "essentials," and "finances" are concrete or material in nature and cannot describe what emotionally binds a nation together.
