The plan of Sir Stafford Cripps envisaged that after the Second World War
A.India should be granted complete independence
B.India should be partitioned into two before granting independence
D.India should be given Dominion status
C.India should be made a republic with the condition that she will join the Commonwealth
Correct Answer: Option D
The Cripps Mission aimed to secure Indian cooperation for the British war effort during World War II.
In exchange, the British government promised elections and Dominion Status for India after the war.
Dominion Status, while not complete independence, would have granted India self-government within the British Commonwealth.
Hence, option d is the correct answer.
