Correct:
D
Explanation
The Cabinet Mission Plan was formally accepted by the Congress (June 24, 1946) and Nehru publicly conveyed the party’s acceptance at the AICC, though his later press remarks created controversy [2]. Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, however, emerges in the sources as unequivocally and actively supportive: he described the acceptance as a ‘glorious event’, worked to defend and preserve the scheme, and tried to persuade Nehru and Gandhi to salvage the settlement when Nehru’s statement imperiled it—showing he was fully in favour of the Plan and its implementation. Thus among the options given, Maulana Azad was the Congress leader most completely committed to the Cabinet Mission Plan.
