Options:

Janata Dal

Muslim League

Socialist Party

Swatantra Party

Correct Answer:

Muslim League

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Muslim League

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.
