C

D

Step-by-Step Explanation & Concept Rationale
This specific question is taken directly from the CSS Pakistan Affairs Past Paper (2008). In the context of that specific historical examination paper, the official answer key designated 16 items (Option C) as the correct choice based on old textbook data.
However, in reality, this data is heavily outdated. Modern surveys conducted by organizations like the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) and the Planning Commission of Pakistan show that Pakistan actually has at least 92 known minerals, out of which 52 are actively and commercially exploited. Because the real-world number (92 or 52) is completely absent from options A, B, and C, None of these is technically the most factual answer for the present day.

✓ Correct
D

💡
Step-by-Step Explanation & Concept Rationale
By the time British rule ended in August 1947, almost all princely states with a Hindu majority population had signed the Instrument of Accession to join the Dominion of India. However, Hyderabad and Junagarh (both Hindu-majority states ruled by Muslim monarchs) were the notable exceptions that did not accede to India before the deadline:
Hyderabad: The Nizam of Hyderabad, Mir Osman Ali Khan, governing a massive Hindu-majority population, chose to remain an independent sovereign state rather than acceding to India or Pakistan. It was later integrated into India following a military intervention (Operation Polo) in September 1948.
Junagarh: The Nawab of Junagarh, Mahabat Khan III, ruled over a predominantly Hindu population but officially chose to accede to Pakistan on August 15, 1947. This sparked a major political standoff, leading to Indian administration taking control of the state later that November.
