The Second Round Table Conference took place in London in September 1931. It aimed to discuss constitutional reforms in India but ultimately failed to reach a consensus.

The Quit India Movement was launched by Mahatma Gandhi in August 1942, demanding an immediate end to British rule in India.

The Mutiny in Royal Indian Navy occurred in February 1946. It was a major uprising by Indian sailors against the British Raj, though it happened after the Quit India Movement.

Thus correct chronology of events is 3-2-1 i.e. option 'C'.

The principle of Dyarchy was introduced by the Government of India Act of 1919 in the provinces of British India.

This system divided the functions of government into two categories central and provincial.

The provincial subjects were further subdivided into transferred and reserved.

Thus, the principle of Dyarchy refers to the division of the subjects delegated to the provinces into two categories.

The Trade Disputes Act of 1929 was enacted to provide a mechanism for the settlement of industrial disputes. It established a system of Courts of Inquiry and Boards of Conciliation (tribunals) to investigate and mediate conflicts between employers and employees. Regarding strikes, the Act imposed significant restrictions: it prohibited strikes and lock-outs in public utility services (such as railways, post, and water supply) without a 14-day prior notice. Additionally, it declared illegal any strike or lock-out that had objectives other than the furtherance of a trade dispute within a specific industry or was intended to coerce the government through widespread public hardship. This effectively banned general and political strikes.

The committee fully endorsed that the viceroy should remain the Crown agent in dealing with the native states.
