View Answer A) the principle of federation and parliamentary system

Explanation : The 1935 Government of India Act was a piece of legislation modified by the British Parliament. It was first given royal approval in August 1935. It called for the creation of an All India federation with units made up of provinces and princely states. Three lists—the federal list, the provincial list, and the concurrent list—were used to distribute the powers between the centre and the units. It did away with dyarchy in the provinces and replaced it with "provincial autonomy."
