D.a system of tribunals and a ban on strikes.
A.the participation of workers in the management of industries.
C.an intervention by the British Court in the event of a trade dispute.
B.arbitrary powers to the management to quell industrial disputes.

Correct Answer: Option D

The Trade Disputes Act of 1929 aimed to settle industrial disputes in India before 1947.

The Act's main objective was to establish Courts of Inquiry and Boards of Conciliation to investigate and resolve trade disputes.

It introduced a system of tribunals for dispute resolution.

It also prohibited strikes or lock-outs in public utility services without notice and made illegal any strike or lock-out with objectives beyond furthering a trade dispute within the specific trade or industry, effectively imposing a ban on certain strikes.

Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
