Correct Answer:
D. 1929
The significant political proposals known as the 14 Points were presented by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, in 1929. These points were a direct response to the Nehru Report of 1928, which advocated for a unitary form of government in British India without separate electorates for Muslims. Jinnah's 14 Points articulated the demands of the Muslim League for constitutional safeguards, including separate electorates, provincial autonomy, and adequate representation for Muslims in all legislative bodies, aiming to protect their political rights and interests in any future constitutional setup.
- The years 1923, 1928, and 1931 are incorrect. While 1928 saw the Nehru Report, Jinnah's counter-proposals were specifically presented in March 1929.
