Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

Both statements are correct. The three Round Table Conferences (1930–32) debated the federal scheme for India, and the Third Round Table Conference’s recommendations were published as a White Paper which fed directly into the bill that became the Government of India Act, 1935 [2]. The Act incorporated those proposals and formally provided for an All‑India Federation, envisaging a union of the British Indian provinces and the princely states (with terms of accession specified and states given discretion to join), making the federation a central feature of the Act’s scheme of government [1]. Thus the Third Round Table deliberations contributed to the Act, and the Act did provide for an All‑India Federation.
