General KnowledgeHistory of India
- AKhan Abdul Ghaffar Khan
- BSikandar Hayat Khan
- CMaulana Abul Kalam Azad
- DRafi Ahmed Kidwai
Explanation
Sikandar Hayat Khan, the Unionist Premier of Punjab from 1937 to 1942, opposed the demand for Pakistan on the ground that it would mean 'Muslim Raj here and Hindu Raj elsewhere'. He favoured a united India with strong provincial autonomy. Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, Maulana Azad and Rafi Ahmed Kidwai are not associated with this remark. Hence option B is correct.
