Solution

The correct option is A They realised that the seeds of communalism had been sown too deep to solve in the country
The Congress accepted the partition due to the long term failure to draw Muslim masses into the national movement. They realised that the seeds of communalism had been sown too deep and only partition could stop the growing enmity between the two communities, and communal riots in the future.
