Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 1928.

  • The Simon Commission arrived in India in 1928. It was set up by the British government to review the workings of the Government of India Act 1919 and to suggest constitutional reforms.
  • However, it was met with widespread opposition in India because it did not include any Indian members, which led to the famous slogan "Simon Go Back." The commission's arrival and its recommendations played a key role in intensifying the Indian struggle for independence.
