Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$1942$

In March 1942, a mission headed by Stafford Cripps was sent to India with constitutional proposals to seek Indian support for the war. The Mission declared that entire India was to be a Dominion and after the war its constitution was to be framed by an elected body which was to be accepted by the British Government. The Indian Provinces were given the right of secession from the Centre after 10 years.
