The correct answer is (c) William Wedderburn.

The Cabinet Mission was a British mission sent to India in 1946 to negotiate a settlement between the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League on the future of India. The mission was led by Lord Pethick-Lawrence, the Secretary of State for India, and included A.V. Alexander, the First Lord of the Admiralty, and Stafford Cripps, the President of the Board of Trade.

William Wedderburn was a British politician who served as the Secretary of State for India from 1892 to 1895. He was not a member of the Cabinet Mission of 1946.

The Cabinet Mission’s proposals were rejected by both the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League. The failure of the mission led to the partition of India and the independence of India and Pakistan in 1947.
