Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Control of defence of India by the Indian National Government

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: C) Control of defence of India by the Indian National Government šŸ“š Explanation: The 'Cripps Offer' of 1942 failed largely because it refused to give Indians control over the 'defence' of the country during World War II. The British insisted that the defense of India would remain under their authority as part of the total war effort. The Congress rejected the offer, demanding a full national government with responsibility for all sectors, including defense.
