Quit India Movement was launched in response to

The correct answer is (b) Cripps Proposals. The Quit India Movement of 1942 was a direct response to the failure of the Cripps Mission. Here's a breakdown: Cripps Proposals (1942): Sir Stafford Cripps was sent to India to negotiate with Indian leaders for their support in the Second World War. The proposals offered Dominion Status after the war and provisions for a constituent assembly, but they were rejected by the Congress due to several reasons: Offer of Dominion Status, not complete independence. Provision for the partition of India (the 'opt-out' clause). Insufficient transfer of power to Indian hands during the war. This rejection led to growing discontent and ultimately, Gandhi's call for 'Do or Die' on August 8, 1942, launching the Quit India Movement. Let's look at why the other options are incorrect: (a) Cabinet Mission Plan (1946): This came after the Quit India Movement and aimed to discuss the transfer of power to India. It wasn't a cause of the movement. (c) Simon Commission Report (1930): This report predates the Quit India Movement by over a decade and led to protests, but wasn't the immediate trigger. (d) Wavell Plan (1945): Like the Cabinet Mission Plan, this came after the Quit India Movement and was an attempt to find a solution for India's future.
