Correct Answer:
C. 1936
The correct answer is 1936 because that is the year the separation of Sindh from the Bombay Presidency officially went into effect, making Sindh a distinct province of British India.
- Step 1 (Legislative Provision): The administrative separation was fundamentally authorized under Section 289 of the historic Government of India Act 1935.
- Step 2 (Implementation Date): Following the royal decree and structural adjustments, Sindh was formally inaugurated as an independent, standalone administrative province on April 1, 1936.
- Incorrect Options:
- 1934 is incorrect because it predates the passing of the official Government of India Act.
- 1935 is incorrect because 1935 was the year the overarching Act was passed in parliament rather than the date the structural provincial partition took effect.
- 1937 is incorrect because it represents a calendar marker following the true historical timeline of this territorial restructuring.
