Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Cripps.

In 1942, the British government sent the Cripps Mission to India.

Key Details:

  • Objective: Led by Sir Stafford Cripps, it aimed to secure Indian cooperation in World War II by offering limited post-war self-government.

  • Proposal: Dominion status after the war, with a constitution-making body, but provinces could opt out (seen as encouraging partition).

  • Outcome: Rejected by Congress (demanded immediate independence) and the Muslim League (wanted clearer guarantees for Pakistan).

  • Impact: Paved the way for the Quit India Movement (August 1942).
