A. August Offer of 1940
B. Cripps Proposals of 1942✓ Correct Answer
C. Cabinet Mission Plan of 1946
D. Wavell Plan of 1945
💡 Solution & Explanation
The Cripps Mission of 1942 offered for the first time an elected constituent assembly composed entirely of Indians to frame a post-war constitution. The August Offer of 1940 merely acknowledged the principal responsibility of Indians in framing their constitution without conceding an immediate sole body. Modern Indian history questions frequently compare British constitutional proposals offered during World War II.
