Hint:- On 25 March 1940, a Newspapers printed news about Lahore Resolution, demanding division of India.
The Two-Nation theory resolution passed for the establishment of a separate country for the majority of the Muslims in British India.
This resolution was passed in the annual session of the All India Muslim League held in Lahore.

Complete answer:
The demand for a separate state of Pakistan was made on the basis of the ‘two-nation’ theory of Jinnah at the Lahore session of the All Indian Muslim League held in 1940. So, D is the correct answer.
The session held in 1940, in Lahore, was addressed by Sir Shah Nawaz Khan of Mamdot, as the chairman of the local reception committee.
This resolution approved by the Committee and accepted the Muslim league demand of a separate land for the Muslims and recommended the creation of a Pakistan state.

Hence, answer D is the right option.

Note: 22–24 March 1940 is a landmark of Pakistan's history.
In 1946, the Muslim League started to struggle for one particular state for the Muslims.
