Answer 1

The correct option is D Led to the creation of a federal structure in the country

Government of India Act 1935 was passed by British Parliament in August 1935. With 321 sections and 10 schedules, this was the longest Act passed by British Parliament so far and was later split into two parts viz. Government of India Act 1935 and Government of Burma Act 1935. This act ended the system of dyarchy introduced by GOI Act 1919 and provided for establishment of a Federation of India to be made up of provinces of British India and some or all of the Princely states. The act also provided for the establishment of Federal Court to interpret the Act and adjudicate disputes relating to the federal matters.
