The 3rd statement is not correct as it is not a reason to send cripps mission. The reasons for sending cripps mission were:-
Because of the reverses suffered by Britain in south-east Asia, the Japanese threat to invade India became real now and India support became crucial.
There was pressure on Britain from the Allies to seek Indian cooperation.
Indian Nationalists had agreed to support Allied cause if substantial power was transferred immediately and complete independence given after the war.
There was a pressure from the American President F. Roosevelt and Chinese premier Chiang Kai-Shek to concede the real political power to the people of India.
The fall of Burma was enough to frighten the British and when the Japanese army began to knock the doors of India after Burma and Singapore, the war cabinet of Britain sent Sir Stafford Cripps to India on March 1942 to elicit cooperation from the Indians. It promised for the fulfillment of past promises to self government to Indian people.
