a. religious diffrences between hindus and muslims is the correct answer.

A. religious differences between Hindus and Muslims.

Explanation:

The main reason for the partitioning of India were the religious differences that existed between Hindus and Muslims. Hindus and Muslims were the two largest religions that existed in India. Although these two groups were not fully integrated, they coexisted within the same territory. However, conflict had existed between the two for decades, and when India declared its independence, the two groups were fearful that the other group would become much more powerful. These conflicts led to the partitioning of India in 1947.
