What danger could haste in boundary making during partition increase?

Risk of displacement and violence due to neglect of local realities

Boundary making during partition is not merely a line-drawing exercise. A boundary can divide villages, farmland, roads, markets, rivers, and communities. If the work is done too quickly, officials may not study local settlement patterns, religious composition, transport links, or people’s practical needs carefully enough. A poorly considered line can force families to leave their homes and can increase fear, confusion, conflict, and violence.

Option A is correct because it identifies the danger created by ignoring local realities: displacement and violence may become more likely. Haste cannot guarantee complete peace or secure the consent of every affected person. It also cannot make citizenship questions disappear, because people may still be left on the wrong side of a new border or face uncertainty about their status. Therefore, careful planning was essential.
