- AThe Government of India Act, 1935
- BThe U.S Constitution
- CThe British Constitution
- DThe UN Charter
Explanation
Roughly two-thirds of the Constitution’s provisions were drawn from the Government of India Act, 1935 — its federal scheme, provincial autonomy, and administrative details formed the working draft and basic premise of the Constituent Assembly. The US and British constitutions supplied only specific features (Fundamental Rights, parliamentary system), and the UN Charter none. Hence (A).
