Answer 1

The correct option is B The Nehru Committee was headed by Jawaharlal Nehru.

Lord Birkenhead, Secretary of State for India, asked the Indian leaders of all parties to come up with a constitution acceptable by all sections of people and political parties of India. Indian leaders accepted this challenge and drafted a report under the presidentship of Motilal Nehru, father of Jawaharlal Nehru, called the 'Nehru Report'. Notable features of the Nehru Report included Dominion Status, Fundamental Rights, Universal Adult Franchise, and Independent Judiciary. It was eventually rejected by the British Government.
