- BJawaharlal Nehru and Sardar Patel represented Congress to negotiate with the mission
- CThe mission offered Dominion status after the war
- DThe mission offered formation of constitution making body after the war
Explanation
The Cripps Mission of March 1942 did persuade the War Cabinet to a draft declaration, offered Dominion status after the war, and proposed a constitution-making body. But the Congress deputed Jawaharlal Nehru and Maulana Azad – not Sardar Patel – to negotiate with Stafford Cripps. Hence statement (B) is the one that is NOT correct.
