Solution

The correct option is D The death of Potti Sreemulu.
Following the report of the JVP Committee, the states formed in the Republic of India were not based on languages. Hence, there were protests everywhere. An activist named Potti Seeramulu died of a hunger strike in AP in 1952 which compelled the government to form Andhra Pradesh state. This incident speeded up the formation of Maharashtra.
