Solution

The correct option is C Direct Action day
The Muslim League drew up a plan to achieve Pakistan, and all the Muslims across India were asked to observe 16 August 1946 as Direct Action Day. The Congress leaders felt that there was no alternative other than accepting the Muslim League's demand for Pakistan. They discussed this matter with Mahatma Gandhi, who had to accept the partition of India without much choice.
