▶ Answer & Explanation

Correct answer: B. 2 and 3 only

The Nehru Report of 1928, a counter-proposal to the Simon Commission, advocated for Dominion Status rather than complete independence, which was a later demand. It did, however, strongly recommend the inclusion of fundamental rights in the constitution for all citizens and favoured joint electorates with reserved seats for minorities, addressing concerns about representation.
