Answer:

The right answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The religious divide in India has existed for centuries after the end of the Mughal Empire, which brought Islam to the subcontinent. Before independence, Gandhi and other Indian leaders tried to keep the unity of the entity that had been colonial India under British rule, but Muslim League leaders refused and preferred to have a separate country, they did not want to remain under the flag of a single country with Hindus. Independence in 1947 also meant partition, so two states were born, India and Pakistan. Massive riots, religious and communal violence between Hindus and Muslims ensued. Millions died, were injured or were displaced.
