Solution

The correct option is D To form an Indian government which would administer the colony under British supervision
The nationalists stressed on the idea of Swaraj or self-government. So, they demanded a colonial form of self-government which would allow India to form its own elected government, which would administer India with British supervision. This model of self-governance was being followed in colonies in North America and Australia.
