Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: After WWII, religious tensions (Hindu - Muslim) led to the partition of India, creating a Hindu - majority India and Muslim - majority Pakistan. This matches historical events.
• Option B: The Indian National Congress was not dominated by secular communist leaders due to religious tensions post - WWII.
• Option C: Non - violent resistance (like Gandhi’s) was pre - WWII and not a direct outcome of post - WWII religious tensions.
• Option D: The British Raj was established much earlier, not post - WWII.

Answer:

A. The formation of a Hindu state in India and a Muslim state in Pakistan
