Question

Which statement illustrates Jinnah’s strongest argument for India’s partition?

People from different cultures cannot maintain their unique traditions when coexisting with others.
Divisions would allow each group to use the natural resources of their regions to become economically successful.
Maintaining a single country would cause discontent between majority and minority groups.
Allowing people of similar backgrounds to live together would promote harmony with those across the partition lines.

Answer 1

"Maintaining a single country would cause discontent between majority and minority groups."

Jinnah's core argument (the Two-Nation Theory) was that Muslims and Hindus were distinct nations and that Muslim political rights and security would be threatened under a Hindu-majority government.
