The correct option is A

1 and 4 only
<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Cripps mission deviated from the past by suggesting that Constitution Assembly would be "solely Indian", not just "mainly Indian".
Princely states would nominate their members,while provinces would elect their members through proportional representation.
Governor-General’s powers would remain intact.
To appease Muslim League, it suggested that if any province does not want to join Indian Union, it could remain an independent territory like Indian Union.
