Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e.1934.

The demand for a Constituent Assembly to frame India’s Constitution was first raised in 1934 by M.N. Roy, a communist leader and political thinker. The Indian National Congress officially adopted this demand later in 1935, and it became a central part of the freedom movement. This demand was eventually accepted by the British in the August Offer of 1940 and became reality in 1946 when the Constituent Assembly was formed.
