The Simon Commission was appointed by the British government to review constitutional arrangements in India, but it had no Indian member. Its arrival therefore raised a basic question of representation: how could Indians accept recommendations about their political future from a body that excluded them? Opposition spread across important political groups and became a powerful public protest.

Thus, option A is correct because all-party opposition showed broad dissatisfaction with the absence of Indian representation. The slogan “Simon Go Back” expresses this objection. The event did not show complete acceptance of British rule, support for the salt law, or the end of the Congress. Those options contradict the historical meaning of the protest. The supplied answer correctly identifies the political condition.

In 1929 Poorna Swaraj became Congress's goal. Exam tip is to study Nehru Report and Lahore resolution in sequence.

Jinnah’s Fourteen Points were a constitutional response to disagreements surrounding the Nehru Report of 1928. The Nehru Report proposed a constitutional framework for India, but Jinnah felt that Muslim political interests and safeguards were not sufficiently protected. His Fourteen Points therefore demanded arrangements such as adequate minority representation, federal principles, and protections for provincial and community interests.

Option A is correct because it identifies the main character of the response: a demand for minority representation and federal safeguards. The Fourteen Points did not concern the Salt Satyagraha, the Kakori incident, or the creation of Swadeshi schools. They belonged to the constitutional debate of the late 1920s, especially the political disagreements that became sharper after the Nehru Report. The supplied answer is therefore consistent.

Exam tip: remember it as a limited political settlement during the movement, not as a grant of independence.

During the Tripuri session of 1939, Subhas Chandra Bose favoured launching an early, more active and broad-based struggle against British rule. The Gandhian leadership did not consider the situation ready for such an immediate campaign and stressed Gandhi’s non-violent, gradual approach. Therefore, the central disagreement concerned the pace and method of the anti-British struggle. Exam tip: remember that Bose became Congress president at Haripura, while Tripuri saw a major challenge to his leadership.

Gandhi wanted controlled nonviolent protest during wartime. Exam tip is to remember 1940 and Vinoba Bhave.
