the Muslim League demanded a separate state for the Muslims in the year:
C
Correct answer
Explanation
The Muslim League passed the Lahore Resolution in March 1940, demanding independent states for Muslim-majority regions in British India. This resolution is considered the first formal demand for Pakistan. Earlier dates like 1920 (Khilafat Movement) and 1930 (Iqbal's Allahabad Address) did not represent an official party demand for a separate state.
