Which one of the following is not a feature of the Government of India Act of 1935?
- ADiarchy at the Centre as well as in the provincesCorrect
- BA bicameral legislature
- CProvincial autonomy
- DAn All-India Federation
Explanation
The Government of India Act of 1935 abolished diarchy at the provincial level and introduced provincial autonomy in its place. While the Act did provide for the establishment of diarchy at the Centre, it did not exist in both the Centre and the provinces simultaneously. Therefore, option A is incorrect as a feature of the Act because it falsely claims diarchy was maintained or introduced in the provinces.
