  2. BInterim Cabinet of Indians
  3. CAcceptance of PakistanCorrect
  4. DConstitution framing right

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the Cabinet Mission Plan explicitly rejected the demand for a separate sovereign state of Pakistan. The mission believed that a partitioned state would not solve the communal problem and would create logistical issues regarding defense and communications. Instead, the plan proposed a united India with a three tier structure consisting of a weak center and strong provinces grouped into three sections to provide some autonomy to Muslim majority areas. All other options like provincial grouping, the formation of an interim government, and the right to frame a constitution were key features of the plan.
