D Correct answer
Explanation

Bangladesh (formerly East Pakistan) became an independent nation in 1971 after the Bangladesh Liberation War. This war broke out when West Pakistan refused to accept election results from East Pakistan. 1947 was the Partition of India, creating Pakistan as a whole. 1951 and 1956 have no relevance to Bangladeshi independence.

AI explanation

Bangladesh was formed as a separate, independent country in 1971, following the Bangladesh Liberation War in which East Pakistan seceded from Pakistan with decisive support from India, culminating in Pakistan's surrender in December 1971. 1947 marks India and Pakistan's independence/partition (when the region was East Pakistan, not yet independent), while 1951 and 1956 don't correspond to any major milestone in Bangladesh's path to statehood, making 1971 the only historically correct answer.
