With reference to the Cabinet Mission, which of the following statements is/are correct? 1. It recommended a federal government. 2. It enlarged the powers of the Indian courts. 3. It provided for more Indians in the ICS. Select the correct answer using the code given below.

Option (a) is correct because the Cabinet Mission Plan (1946) proposed a three-tier federal structure consisting of a Union of India, groups of provinces, and individual provinces, with the central government limited to defense, foreign affairs, and communications. Statement 3 is incorrect because the mission focused on the constitutional machinery for the transfer of power rather than administrative reforms like Indianization of the ICS, which had been addressed by earlier commissions. The core concept tested is the specific constitutional framework proposed by the Cabinet Mission to maintain Indian unity while addressing communal demands through provincial autonomy.
