Statement A, B and D are correct:

A. Partition of India was the outcome of the 'Two Nation Theory' advanced by Muslim League.
According to the ‘two-nation theory’ advanced by the Muslim League, India consisted of not one but two ‘people’, Hindus and Muslims. That is why it demanded Pakistan, a separate country for Muslims. This theory fueled the demand for a separate Muslim-majority state

B. Punjab and Bengal were the two provinces divided on the basis of religious majority.
The partition of British India in 1947 resulted in the creation of two independent states, India and Pakistan. The criteria for bifurcating Punjab and Bengal were primarily based on religious majority, as the main driving force behind the partition was the desire to create separate nations for Hindus and Muslims.

D. East and West Pakistan were not contiguous.
Muslim-majority areas in British India were not confined to a single belt. They were divided into two distinct regions, one in the west and another in the east. The geographical separation of these two parts made it impractical to unite them
