The proposals of the Cabinet Mission did NOT include : 1. a three-tier structure for the Union of India, with both the Provinces and the Princely States 2. formation of a Constituent Assembly 3. creation of a sovereign Pakistan with six Muslim-majority provinces Select the correct answer using the code given below:

The Cabinet Mission Plan of 1946 proposed a three-tier administrative structure for the Union of India, which included both the British Provinces and the Princely States [3]. The Union was to handle foreign affairs, defense, and communications, while provinces were grouped into three sections (A, B, and C) [3]. The Plan also explicitly provided for the formation of a Constituent Assembly to frame the future constitution, with members elected indirectly by provincial assemblies and nominated by princely states [3]. Crucially, the Cabinet Mission Plan rejected the Muslim League's demand for a separate, sovereign state of Pakistan [3]. It aimed to maintain a united India with a decentralized federal structure rather than creating a sovereign Pakistan with six provinces [3]. Therefore, only statement 3 was NOT included in the proposals.
