Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 4 - Government of India Act of 1935

The abolition of Dyarchy in the provinces was recommended by the Government of India Act of 1935.

Dyarchy was a system of governance implemented in British India by the Government of India Act of 1919. It divided the administration of provinces into two parts:
Reserved Subjects: These were considered critical for British control and included areas like defense, foreign affairs, and taxation. They were directly managed by the Governor, who was a British official.
Transferred Subjects: These were seen as less critical and included areas like health, education, and agriculture. They were placed under the control of Indian ministers, but their power was limited as they still needed the Governor's approval for major decisions.
