    Muslim League disagreed the decision of splitting India and having control on main components of government. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given statement is true because the Muslim League did indeed disagree with the decision to split India and wanted to have control over the main components of the government. The Muslim League, led by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, advocated for the creation of a separate nation for Muslims called Pakistan. They believed that a united India would not adequately protect the rights and interests of Muslims, and therefore pushed for the partition of India. This ultimately led to the creation of India and Pakistan as separate countries in 1947.
