Solution

The correct option is D
1, 2 and 3

Explanation:

Statement 1 is correct: Pakistan's demand has been gradually formalized. On 23 March 1940, the League adopted a resolution calling for a measure of autonomy for the Muslim majority of the subcontinent. This ambiguous resolution never referred to the partition or Pakistan.

Statement 2 is correct: The origins of Pakistan 's demand have been traced back to the Urdu poet Mohammad Iqbal, the author of "Sare Jahan Se Achha Hindustan Hamara." In his 1930 presidential address to the Muslim League, the poet spoke of the need for a "North West Indian Muslim state." However, Iqbal did not see the emergence of a new country in that speech, but the reorganization of the Muslim majority into an autonomous unit within the structured Indian federation.

Statement 3 is correct:

Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan was a prominent Gandhian leader from the North West Frontier Province and led many movements in the region through Khudai Khidmatgars. He was opposed to the idea of partition and was disappointed when Congress accepted the partition of India.
