Correct answer: (b) Sikandar Hayat Khan

Explanation

The Lahore Resolution (Pakistan Resolution) was passed at the Muslim League's Lahore session on 23–24 March 1940. It demanded independent states for Muslims in the north-western and eastern Muslim-majority areas.

Sir Sikandar Hayat Khan, Premier of the Punjab, wrote its first draft. A. K. Fazlul Haq moved it, and Jinnah presided over the session. Rahmat Ali coined the word "Pakistan" (1933).
