Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The Indian Independence Act, 1947 was a law passed by the British Parliament that granted independence to India.
It received the royal assent (final approval) on 18th July 1947.
This act led to the creation of two separate nations—India and Pakistan—effective from 15th August 1947.
The act laid down the legal framework for partition, the end of British rule, and transfer of power.
Explanation of the options:
- June 1946 and August 1946 are related to earlier proposals and negotiations, not the actual act.
- August 1947 is when independence was declared, but the act was passed earlier—in July 1947.
Thus, the correct answer is (A) July 1947.
