Solution

The correct option is D To rejoice the resignation of all Congress ministers
Opposing the British decision to involve India in World War II, the ministers of the Indian National Congress resigned in 1939. But, the Muslim League did not hold the same view against the British. They also looked at Congress as their rival. Therefore, they celebrated the resignation of the Congress ministers, which came to be known as the 'Day of Deliverance'.
