Answer 1

The correct option is C Only 1 and 3

At its Madras Session in 1927, presided over by Dr. Ansari (not by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad), the Indian National Congress decided to boycott the Simon Commission “at every stage and in every form”. The Muslim league and the Hindu Mahasabha decided to support the Congress decision. In fact, the Simon Commission united, at least temporarily different group and parties in the country.
