Solution

The correct option is C 1945
General elections were held in British India in December 1945 to elect members of the Central Legislative Assembly, an equivalent of present-day Lok Sabha, and the Council of State, an equivalent of present-day Rajya Sabha. These were the last general elections in British India; consequent elections were held in 1951 in India and 1970 in Pakistan.
