Option 1: Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Option 2: Both A and R are true but R is not a correct explanation of A.

Option 3: A is true but R is false.

Option 4: A is false but R is true.

The assertion in this question states that the Government of India Act passed in 1935 gave dominion status to India. This means that India was granted a self-governing status within the British Empire. The reason given is that the Indian National Congress, under the leadership of Motilal Nehru, claimed Swarajya (self-rule) and drafted a Constitution for free India.

Option 4 is the correct answer because although the reason is true (the Indian National Congress did claim Swarajya and drafted a Constitution), the assertion is false. The Government of India Act of 1935 did not grant dominion status to India.
