B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 1, 2 and 3
💡 Solution & Explanation
Statements 1 and 3 are correct. The Act of 1935 dismantled dyarchy in the provinces, granted them autonomy, and introduced dyarchy at the federal center. Statement 2 is incorrect because the All-India Federation never materialized due to the failure of princely states to accede under the stipulated conditions. This comprehensive statute formed the structural blueprint for independent India's constitutional framework.
