{'india freedom struggle': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'nehru report': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'constitution': [39, 3, 11, 39], 'fundamental rights': [13, 0, 7, 20], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'reservation': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'complete independence': [3, 0, 4, 3], 'provision': [5, 0, 10, 23], 'joint electorates': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'seats': [6, 6, 8, 25]}

The Nehru Report, compiled by a group led by Motilal Nehru in 1928, proposed constitutional reforms for India, to further discussions on self-rule.

Option 1, "Complete Independence for India" isn`t correct. The report recommended dominion status, not complete independence.

Option 2, "Joint electorates for reservation of seats for minorities" is correct. The report suggested protection of minority rights via the reservation of seats, without separate electorates.

Option 3, "Provision of fundamental rights for the people of India in the Constitution" is also correct. The Nehru report did indeed propose a list of fundamental rights, which would become an influential precursor to the Constitution of India.

So, only options 2 and 3 were recommended by the Nehru Report, making option-2 ("2 and 3 only") the correct answer.
