Correct Answer

Explanation

The major consequences of independence and the partition of Punjab Province in 1947 were religious homogeneity and population displacement.
The division of the province along religious lines led to mass migrations of Hindus and Sikhs from Pakistani Punjab to Indian Punjab and Muslims from Indian Punjab to Pakistani Punjab.
This resulted in religious homogeneity within districts and significant population displacement.
