💡 Solution & Explanation
The Lucknow Pact of 1916 marked a historic political agreement where the Indian National Congress and the All-India Muslim League united on common demands for constitutional reforms alongside the reunion of Moderates (Naram Dal) and radical nationalists (Garam Dal). Incorrect choices suggest radical outcomes like total independence or complete abolition of electorates which did not occur at that time. This alliance significantly boosted nationalist pressure on the British administration.
