Correct option is A

The correct answer is: (a) Indian Independence Act, 1947
Explanation:
The Indian Independence Act of 1947 was based on the Mountbatten Plan, also known as the Plan for Partition. This Act was introduced by Lord Mountbatten, the last Viceroy of India, and it provided for the partition of India into two independent nations: India and Pakistan.
Information Booster:
  • The Mountbatten Plan involved the division of Punjab and Bengal into separate provinces for India and Pakistan.

  • Lord Mountbatten was tasked with overseeing the transfer of power and ensuring that the two new nations could become independent.

  • The Act gave full sovereignty to the two nations, and India became a Dominion of the British Commonwealth.

  • The act repealed the Government of India Act, 1935.​

Additional Knowledge:

  •  Simon Commission, 1927 – The Simon Commission was established to review the Government of India Act, 1919; unrelated to the Mountbatten Plan.
  •  Government of India Act, 1935 – The Government of India Act, 1935, was passed to extend the constitutional framework of British India.
