Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Statement I is true as the Council of the All-India Muslim League formally accepted the Cabinet Mission Plan on June 6, 1946 [2]. This acceptance was based on the plan's provision for the grouping of provinces, which the League viewed as a potential stepping stone toward Pakistan. Statement II is also true; although the League initially rejected the short-term plan for an Interim Government in July 1946 due to disagreements with the Congress, it eventually decided to join the Interim Government on October 13, 1946 [2]. However, Statement II is not the correct explanation for Statement I. The League's acceptance of the Mission Plan in June was driven by the long-term constitutional scheme and the grouping clause, whereas the decision to join the Interim Government in October was a separate tactical move to safeguard its interests after the Congress had already formed the government in September [2].
