The question asks about the volume of blood pumped by the human heart with each contraction, which is known as the stroke volume and is typically measured in milliliters (mL), not centimeters (cm).

The Pakistan Resolution, also known as the Lahore Resolution, passed on 23 March 1940, had a profound and lasting impact on Indian politics and the British government. It formally crystallized the demand for separate Muslim-majority autonomous states in British India, which galvanized the Muslim League's mass support and sharply polarized Indian politics. This polarization deepened communal tensions and forced the Indian National Congress and British government to confront the reality of partition. For the British, it marked a turning point in the decolonization process, compelling them to recognize the Muslim League as a legitimate negotiating partner and to incorporate the demand for partition into their plans for independence. The term 'deep' best captures this profound and enduring influence, as the resolution reshaped the political landscape and accelerated the eventual creation of Pakistan in 1947. Other options like 'attractive' or 'powerful' are less precise, and 'All of these' is inappropriate as not all options accurately describe the impact.
