The correct answer is: B. Wavell Conference
The Shimla Conference was a conference held in Shimla, India, from June 25 to July 14, 1945, between the British government and the Indian National Congress (INC) and the All-India Muslim League (AIML). The conference was convened by the Viceroy of India, Lord Wavell, to discuss the future of India after the end of World War II.
The conference was unsuccessful, as the INC and the AIML could not agree on a formula for independence. The INC wanted a united India, while the AIML wanted a separate Muslim state, Pakistan. The conference ended with the British government announcing that it would transfer power to Indian hands by June 1948.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option A, Himachal Conference, is not the correct name of the Shimla Conference.
- Option C, British India Conference, is not the correct name of the Shimla Conference.
- Option D, Gandhi Conference, is not the correct name of the Shimla Conference.
