{'india act': [7, 1, 13, 15], 'indian councils act': [6, 0, 5, 8], 'separate electorates': [0, 0, 3, 1], 'rowlatt act': [1, 0, 2, 2], 'muslims': [5, 2, 4, 5], 'acts': [1, 0, 7, 5], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13]}

The correct answer is option 1, the Government of India Act of 1909. This act introduced separate electorates for Muslims in India.

Option 2, the Indian Councils Act of 1892, did not introduce separate electorates for Muslims. This act expanded the powers of Indian legislative councils, but did not specifically address separate electorates.

Option 3, the Rowlatt Act of 1919, also did not introduce separate electorates for Muslims. This act allowed for the arrest and detention of individuals without trial, which led to widespread protests in India.

Option 4, the Government of India Act of 1935, did not introduce separate electorates for Muslims either. This act provided a framework for limited self-government in British India and laid the foundation for the establishment of provincial legislatures.

In conclusion, the correct answer is option 1, the Government of India Act of 1909, which introduced separate electorates for Muslims in India.
