Complete answer: Bangladesh was declared an independent country on 26th March 1971. The borders of present-day Bangladesh were authorised with the partition of Bengal in August 1947. However, at the time of partition of India, the region officially became East Pakistan. Bangladesh separated from Pakistan because of many issues mainly because of discrimination with Bengali Hindus. Mujibur Rahman became the first Prime Minister of the new parliamentary government of Bangladesh. Abu Sayeed Choudhary became the President of the country. Bangladesh formed its constitution in 1973 which provided for the secular country, with a parliamentary form of government. In 1974, Bangladesh joined the United Nations. Presently Sheikh Hasina is the Prime Minister of Bangladesh. She was appointed by the President on 6th January 2009. She is the longest-serving prime minister in the country's history.
Therefore Option “B” is the correct option.
