- AThe Hindu Mahasabha
- BThe Congress
- CThe Muslim League
- DThe Unionist Party
Explanation
The Muslim League's Council accepted the Cabinet Mission Plan on 6 June 1946, hoping it would lead to a Pakistan, while the Congress accepted it later on 24 June with its own interpretation. The League subsequently withdrew its acceptance on 29 July 1946 and called for Direct Action Day. Among the options, the June 6 acceptance by the Muslim League is the correct event-date pairing.
