A. Government of India Act, 1919✓ Correct Answer
B. Government of India Act, 1935
C. Indian Councils Act, 1892
D. Charter Act, 1853

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Government of India Act of 1919 provided statutory backing for the establishment of a Public Service Commission, which eventually led to the setting up of the Central Public Service Commission in 1926. Later acts like the 1935 Act expanded these provisions into a Federal Public Service Commission, but the 1919 Act laid the initial groundwork. Modern Indian history questions heavily emphasize constitutional milestones and administrative reforms.
