Your answer: —  ·  Correct: A
Explanation

The Third Round Table Conference was held in London in November 1932. The Indian National Congress did not participate as its leaders were involved in the Civil Disobedience Movement [1]. The deliberations of these conferences, along with the subsequent White Paper of 1933, directly led to the enactment of the Government of India Act, 1935 [1][2]. Statement 3 is incorrect because the 1935 Act specifically introduced a new system of government based on provincial autonomy, replacing the dyarchy system [1][3]. Statement 4 is also incorrect because the Act granted the Governor significant discretionary powers, including the authority to take over the administration of a province under Section 93 if the constitutional machinery failed. Therefore, only statements 1 and 2 are historically accurate regarding the constitutional developments of the 1930s.
