Hint:In British India, the All-India Muslim League (popularised as the Muslim League) was a political party founded in 1906. Its strong support for the creation of a separate nation-state of a Muslim majority, Pakistan, successfully led to the partition of India by the British Empire in 1947.

Complete answer:
Khwaja salimullah was the founder of muslim league.
Around 3000 delegates attended a conference of the Muhammadan Educational Conference in Dhaka on 30 December 1906, at which the ban on politics was lifted and a motion to establish the AIML was pushed. The name was suggested by Sir Salimullah Bahadur Nawab Khawaja and endorsed by Hakim Ajmal Khan.
The All india muslim league was India's first Muslim political party. The theory was that the Party of Congress was just catering to the Hindus' needs. This was an erroneous idea since Congress still intended to incorporate all of the nation's cultures and had many Muslim leaders as members.
On 14 August 1947, the league was disbanded. The political parties in Pakistan, Bangladesh and India continue to exist in different ways.

Hence, the correct option is (Option D).

Note:The league's goals were-
To produce feelings of allegiance to the British government among Muslims.
To safeguard and to express the political rights of Muslims to the government.
To stop the growth of discrimination among Muslims against other communities in India.
