Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Lucknow Pact occurred earliest among the given events, taking place in 1916 [t2][t6]. It was a landmark agreement between the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League to jointly demand political reforms from the British [t2]. Chronologically, the other events followed much later: the Gandhi-Irwin Pact was signed on March 5, 1931, to end the first phase of the Civil Disobedience Movement [c1][c3][t5]. The August Offer was proposed by Viceroy Linlithgow in 1940 during World War II to secure Indian cooperation [c2][t7]. Finally, the Cripps Mission proposals were presented in March 1942, offering dominion status and a constituent assembly after the war, which were subsequently rejected by Indian leaders [c2][t10]. Therefore, the Lucknow Pact (1916) is the earliest event.
