Solution

The correct option is B Lord Linlithgow
In Second World War when the British government of India immediately joined the war without consulting the National Congress or the elected members of the Central Legislature. The Congress leaders asked how it was possible for an enslaved nation to aid others in their fight for freedom. They, therefore demanded that India must be declared free or at least have effective power before it could actively participate in the War. Lord Linlithgow, the Viceroy, could not give any such assurance. He declared Dominion Status as the goal of British Policy in India.
