C. Simon Commission Report
D. Wavell Plan
Answer

B

Explanation

The Cripps Mission Proposals (1942) included terms like establishment of Dominion status after the war, but these were considered inadequate. Gandhi described it as a 'post-dated cheque on a crashing bank.' The rejection of Cripps proposals led to the CWC meeting and the idea of the Quit India struggle.
