Correct Answer: Option C
Detailed Explanation:
Direct Action Day was observed by the Muslim League on 16 August 1946, called by Muhammad Ali Jinnah to demand Pakistan after rejecting the Cabinet Mission Plan.
The day led to violent communal riots in Calcutta (Kolkata), known as the Great Calcutta Killings, resulting in thousands of deaths and intensifying the demand for Partition of India in 1947.
