The correct answer is option 4: Anniversary of the surrender of Japanese army before Admiral Mountbatten. On 15th August 1945, Japan surrendered to the Allied forces, which effectively ended World War II. Lord Mountbatten, the last Viceroy of India, played a significant role in the surrender of the Japanese army. The transfer of power to India was based on this event, as it signified the end of the war and the beginning of a new era. It is important to note that the other options provided are not directly relevant to the transfer of power. The Indian National Congress demanding "Pooma Swaraj" and the start of the `Quit India Movement` by Mahatma Gandhi were significant events in India`s struggle for independence, but they did not directly lead to the transfer of power on 15th August.
