With reference to Simon Commission’s recommendations, which one of the following statement is correct?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: A
Explanation

The Simon (Indian Statutory) Commission, appointed in 1927, recommended abolishing dyarchy and extending responsible government in the provinces — effectively replacing diarchy with provincial responsible government — among its main proposals [2]. It also proposed a federal scheme involving princely states and continuation of communal electorates, but it did not call for the abolition of bicameral legislature at the Centre, nor did it propose creation of an Indian Police Service with a pay differential favoring British recruits. Therefore option (1) correctly reflects the Commission’s recommendation to replace dyarchy with responsible provincial government [1].
