Show answer and solution
Answer: (A) 1 only
Statement 1 is correct: the Cabinet Mission plan proposed a loose federal Union dealing with defence, foreign affairs and communications, with provinces grouped into sections A, B and C. Statement 2 is wrong because the Mission explicitly rejected the demand for a separate sovereign Pakistan, though the League accepted the plan only temporarily.
