Solution
The correct option is C 1939
Provincial
elections were held in British India in the winter of 1936-37 as mandated by
the Government of India Act 1935. Elections were held in eleven provinces - Madras,
Central Provinces, Bihar, Orissa, United Provinces, Bombay Presidency, Assam, NWFP,
Bengal, Punjab and Sindh. The Indian National
Congress emerged in power in eight of the provinces - the three exceptions
being Bengal, Punjab, and Sindh. The Congress
ministries resigned in October and November 1939, in protest against Viceroy Lord
Linlithgow's action of declaring India to be a belligerent in the Second World
War without consulting the Indian people.
