The correct answer is: B. 1946.
The Constituent Assembly was set up on 9 December 1946 by the Indian Independence Act 1947. It was a body of 389 members, elected by the provincial legislative assemblies. The Assembly was tasked with drafting a constitution for the independent Dominion of India.
The Assembly met for the first time on 11 December 1946 and continued to meet until 26 November 1949, when the Constitution of India was adopted. The Assembly was presided over by Dr Rajendra Prasad.
The Assembly was a diverse body, representing a wide range of political views. However, it was able to work together to draft a constitution that has served India well for over 70 years.
Option A: 1945 is incorrect because the Constituent Assembly was not set up until 1946.
Option C: 1947 is incorrect because the Constituent Assembly was set up in 1946 and the Indian Independence Act 1947 was passed in July 1947.
Option D: 1949 is incorrect because the Constituent Assembly was set up in 1946 and the Constitution of India was adopted in November 1949.
