Muslim migration to Afghanistan began with the Arab Muslim conquests in the 7th century CE, when Muslim armies expanded eastward from Persia into regions including Khorasan, Sistan, and Transoxiana, securing key cities such as Balkh by 705 CE. This initial presence was consolidated over the following centuries, with full Islamization occurring mainly during the 10th to 12th centuries under the Ghaznavid and Ghurid dynasties, who patronized Islamic institutions and spread Sunni Islam across the region. In modern history, a significant Muslim migration occurred in 1920, known as the Hijrat, when over 20,000 Indian Muslims migrated to Afghanistan inspired by the Khilafat Movement, seeking refuge from British colonial rule and aiming to support a pan-Islamic cause. This was the largest voluntary migration from colonial India to Afghanistan. Subsequent smaller migrations occurred due to regional conflicts including the Soviet-Afghan war and civil wars in the 1990s. Therefore, while Islam arrived in Afghanistan in the 7th century, the question about Muslim migration to Afghanistan in the 20th century refers specifically to the 1920 Hijrat movement, making 1919 (option A) the most historically accurate among the given options for that context.

Therefore, the correct answer to when the Act was enforced is 'None of these' since the options July 1935, June 1935, and August 1935 are all incorrect for enforcement. The Act's enforcement date is April 1937, which is not listed among the options.
