Solution
The correct option is B Choudhry Rehmat Ali
In 1933, Choudhry Rehmat Ali, a Cambridge University student, came up with the idea of a Muslim nation called Pakistan. He coined the name "Pakistan" or "Pak-stan" considering the provinces of Punjab, Kashmir, Sind, Balochistan, and the North-west Frontier Province, including parts of Afghanistan. He wrote pamphlets between 1933 to 1935 for separate national status. At that time, nobody took him seriously, and the Muslim League dismissed his idea.
