The correct answer is: a) Large-scale migration and violence.
The Partition of India was the division of British India into two independent dominions, India and Pakistan, on 15 August 1947. The partition was accompanied by mass migration and violence, which resulted in the deaths of up to 1 million people and the displacement of more than 10 million.
The partition was the result of the growing Hindu-Muslim divide in India. The Indian National Congress, which was led by Hindus, wanted a united India, while the All-India Muslim League, which was led by Muslims, wanted a separate Muslim state. The British government, which was facing increasing pressure from both sides, eventually agreed to partition India.
The partition was a chaotic and violent event. Millions of people were forced to flee their homes, and many were killed in the violence. The partition also had a profound impact on the history of India and Pakistan.
Option b) is incorrect because Punjab was not the only province that was divided. The provinces of Bengal and Assam were also divided.
Option c) is incorrect because a Sikh homeland was not established.
Option d) is incorrect because the partition was not a peaceful transfer of power.
