Correct Answer

Explanation

The Montague-Chelmsford Proposals formed the basis of the Government of India Act 1919, which introduced major **constitutional reforms** such as Dyarchy in the provinces and a bicameral legislature at the center. Unlike social or educational reforms (such as the Wood’s Despatch or the Sharda Act) which targeted specific societal issues, these proposals focused exclusively on the political and administrative restructuring of British India. The core concept being tested is the **evolution of the British Indian constitutional framework** and the progression toward "responsible government."
