Correct Answer: b) M.A. Jinnah

Explanation:
– The slogan “Divide and Quit” was raised by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, leader of the All-India Muslim League.
– It was a counter to the Congress’s “Quit India” movement of 1942. Jinnah demanded that the British should first partition India to create Pakistan (“divide”) and then leave (“quit”).
– Hence, M.A. Jinnah is the correct choice.
