Explanation

The Cripps Mission arrived in India in 1942 to secure Indian cooperation for the British war effort during World War II. The Indian National Congress appointed Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and Maulana Abul Kalam Azad as its official negotiators to hold discussions with Sir Stafford Cripps. These two leaders were chosen because of Nehru's deep understanding of international affairs and Azad's position as the then Congress President. While other leaders like Mahatma Gandhi were involved in the broader discussions, Nehru and Azad were the formally designated representatives for the official negotiations. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
