The correct statement regarding the Cabinet Mission is:

I. It recommended a federal government.

The other two statements, II. It enlarged the powers of the Indian courts and III. It provided for more Indians in the ICS (Indian Civil Service), are incorrect.

The Cabinet Mission was sent to India in 1946 to propose a plan for the transfer of power from British rule to Indian hands. It recommended the formation of a federal government with a weak center and strong provinces to accommodate the diverse interests and demands of different communities in India. However, it did not address the powers of the Indian courts or the composition of the Indian Civil Service.
