    India and Sri Lanka 

    B.

    India and Pakistan

    C.

    India and Bangladesh

    D.

    India and Nepal

    Correct option is B

    The Correct Answer is: (b) India and Pakistan
    Explanation:
    The partition of British India in 1947 led to the formation of two sovereign nations: India and Pakistan
    The division caused massive migration, violence, and the largest human displacement in history.
    The Indian Independence Act of 1947, passed by the British Parliament, came into effect on 15 August 1947, officially dividing British India into India and Pakistan.
    Information Booster:
    • Radcliffe Line was drawn as the boundary between India and Pakistan.​
    Pakistan was created on 14 August 1947, and India on 15 August 1947.
    Lord Mountbatten was the last British Viceroy and oversaw the partition.
    • Pakistan initially included East Pakistan, which later became Bangladesh in 1971.
    • The division was largely influenced by the Two-Nation Theory proposed by the Muslim League.
