Correct Answer: Montague-Chelmsford Reform (Government of India Act), 1919


Solution : The correct option is the Montague-Chelmsford Reform (Government of India Act), 1919.

The Diarchy, a system of dual governance involving executive councillors and ministers, was introduced in British India through the Montague-Chelmsford Reforms of 1919. Under this Act, certain responsibilities were transferred to Indian ministers, forming a dual administration. However, real power remained concentrated in the hands of the British executive councillors, limiting the impact of the intended self-governance.
