[D] None

Answer: B

Notes:

Explanation:

The representatives of the princely states were to be nominated by the heads of the princely states and not by their legislative assemblies.
As Dr. Sachchidanand Sinha was the oldest member, he was appointed as the temporary President of the Assembly, following the French tradition. Later, Dr. Rajendra Prasad was elected as the President of the Assembly.
The Constituent Assembly convened for the first time on December 9, 1946. However, the Muslim League boycotted the session, demanding a separate state of Pakistan.
