Correct Answer: Government of India Act of 1909


Solution : The correct option is the Government of India Act 1909.

The Government of India Act of 1909, commonly known as the Indian Councils Act of 1909, provided for the first time in British India some elected representation in the legislature. The act enacted minor political reforms, including the extension of legislative councils and the inclusion of elected Indian members on those councils. The representation was extremely limited, and the majority of legislative council members were still nominated by the British government.
