Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Cripps Mission of March 1942 was a British attempt to secure Indian cooperation during World War II [4]. Sir Stafford Cripps, a member of the War Cabinet, presented a draft declaration offering India Dominion status and the formation of a constitution-making body (Constituent Assembly) after the war [3]. While the mission involved negotiations with various Indian leaders, the Indian National Congress was officially represented by Jawaharlal Nehru and Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, not Sardar Patel. Sardar Patel was a key leader but did not serve as the official representative for these specific negotiations. The mission ultimately failed as the Congress rejected the proposals, particularly the 'post-dated cheque' of Dominion status and the provision allowing provinces to opt out of the union [4].
