The correct answer is option 3: Both 1 and 2.

In the context of the Indian freedom struggle, the Cabinet Mission Plan was a proposal put forward by the British government in 1946 to address the issue of India`s political future.

Statement 1 is correct. The Cabinet Mission Plan did state that the Muslim League`s demand for a separate country, Pakistan, could not be granted. It recognized the importance of protecting the rights of religious and cultural minorities, but it did not support the partition of India.

Statement 2 is also correct. The Cabinet Mission Plan proposed a federal union which would include both British India and the Princely States. It aimed to establish a united, self-governing India with a decentralized governance structure. The plan outlined the creation of provincial governments and a central government, with provisions for sharing power between them.

Therefore, both statements 1 and 2 are correct, and option 3 is the correct answer.
