Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3- Indian Independence Act

The Indian Independence Act 1947 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that partitioned British India into two new independent dominions of India and Pakistan in 1947.

The Act was passed in July 1947, and it came into effect on August 15, 1947, which is celebrated as Indian Independence Day.

The Act was the result of a long struggle by the Indian people for independence. The Indian National Congress (INC), which was the leading nationalist organization in India, had been campaigning for independence for many years. The INC launched a number of mass movements against the British, including the Non-Cooperation Movement and the Quit India Movement.

The British government eventually agreed to grant independence to India in 1947. However, the country was partitioned into two dominions, India and Pakistan, on the basis of religion.
